My Summer Vacation 08

By Paolo T.

My first memorable experience in Whistler was zip trekking. To begin with, I was nervous to try zip trekking. And I was afraid, too, because they said it’s 10,000 feet long, and I might get stuck in the middle. Then, I rode the zip line and that was the one that made me confident. Next, I was second in line to zip line and it’s longer and steeper. Afterwards, we were about to do the hardest zip line in the Bear Tour and I was scared. After that, we tried the longest zip and I was sure it’s going to be alright. Finally, it was my turn to try hanging upside down and I was one of the few people who did it.

My second memorable experience was skiing. To begin with, I went to ski school because my mom, my dad and tita wanted me to learn how to ski more. I took up skiing three years ago but my dad was not yet satisfied with my skiing skills. On my first day of ski school, I was very nervous because it was my first time to be in Whistler mountain and Black Comb. On the second day, I improved a bit on my turning and my skiing. Also, on the third day, I could do edge turning that would make me go quicker. And now I could do black and blue runs. Finally, my mom took me to a treat. Now, I could ski with my whole family.

In conclusion, I was satisfied because it was fun.
