Skiing at Crystal Mountain
Chelsea

I had lots of fun skiing. It was really exciting. I was glad that I didn’t fall at all. I was really glad. That was the first ski day I never fell.
My favorite hill was Z5. It was fast and fun. I liked going on the short cut. It has lots of curves. My second favorite hill was Hoot Owl.

Wednesday the fifth graders went to Crystal Mountain. I went skiing with my mom I took her down main st. but she did not like it She fell to much so she was done for the rest of the time we were there. ...Gabe H.

Crystal Mt. Ski Day
Anna

A couple days ago we went to Crystal Mountain for good behavior day and I had a lot of fun there. On that day if you have not gone to our principal, Mr. Hughes, three times so far this year for getting in trouble the school will take you on a field trip to go skiing at Crystal Mt. If you have your own snowboard you can bring it, but the school only rents skis for you. It’s really a blast.

I had a fun time skiing with my friends. Most of the time I skied with Robyn or Kaylyn and her brother, Ethan. It was really fun skiing with them. At about 10:45 we ate lunch (my friends were tired out and starving). After we had lunch in the lodge I skied on about every hill there except the black diamonds. We’re not aloud to go down those hills without our parent’s permission.

I had an awesome day and I wish I could go again next year. It’s a really fun and cool thing to be able to do.

Ski Day
Mallory

February 6th we went skiing at Crystal Mountain. It was our Good Behavior Ski Day.

I mostly went on the Crystal Clipper chair lift and sometimes the Buck or Loki chair lift. Also there is a chair lift called the Ridge Runner that I went on a little.

We couldn’t go on black diamonds without a parent, but that was okay because green circles and blue squares were enough for me. I had a lot of fun for my last Good Behavior Day.

Yesterday we went skiing at Chirstial Mountain. I got to snowboard because I have my own. I had a lot of fun. A lot of my friends snowboarded.. …by Drew

When I first got to Crystal Mountain I really wanted to go skiing. When I got my skies I had to go to Token park. the first time I went down I past it. I was skiing with Lucie and Chelsea and then I found my old baby sitter and I was skiing with them. There daughter took me on cool hills.

I only white out 2 times. I love skiing. When I go skiing I never fall .

Ice Fishing!

I do not like skiing much so I stayed home that day. Instead I went ice fishing with my dad. We cought some fish.

Then we went in town. I bought some CD’s for my Cherokee Machine. Then me and me dad went to a restaurant. We bumped into my mom. She was on an outing. We ate lunch with her. Then we went places with my mom.

When we got home it was 2:00 in the afternoon. I went outside to give my new puppy water and turn her heat light on. Then I fed her. And took her out to play.

Then my friend came over I had a great time. And I think I might try snow boarding sometimes. Since I do not like to ski will snow board.

Ski Day

On the 6th of February we had our good behavior day. We went to Crystal Mountain the whole day. Every year in elementary school we have a ski day if we are good.

I went skiing with Robyn, Chelsea, Kayleigh, Mallory, Mallory’s mom, and Courtney. Robyn and I made a trail that went in a circle. It went up the Crystal Clipper, Down Wally’s Way, Up the Ridge Runner, Down Abendroth’s trail, and back again. I also went down different hills, but I liked them the most.

That is what we do at good behavior day. I always have a good time there. I wish we could go in middle school, and high school. Ski day is a lot of fun.

Ski day

On February 6 we went to Crystal Mountain for good behavior day. We were the first ones to get there. It was a nice day to ski. The son was out and every thing. The hills were perfect. Once in awhile I saw some people from my class.

When we went skiing I went with Chelsea. She makes it a lot of fun. It didn’t take long to bring our stuff up to the loge and get our gear on. We went in early to eat because I was hungry.

We could only go on black diamonds if we went with our parents. I would never want to go on black diamonds any ways. The fanest hill was hoot owl. About 75% of people snowboard.

Later on in the day I totally wiped out. It did not hurt at all it was kind of fun. I can’t wait to go there again.

 

On Thursday we had good behavior day. I went to Crystal and snowboarded. I went on a lot of different runs. We went in to eat lunch whenever we felt like it. I went in pretty early with Lucie. It was really fun. ...Alexi

Hi!
As the OHS Ski Team "official" reporter and mother of 2 children that have raced on the ski team for OHS, I just want to say that I see LOTS of potential and possible future racers for the ski team! My boys, Bob and Christopher, started out just like you with skiing on Good Behavior Day.
Keep up the good work, school, grades and behavior, and when you are in 7th grade you can become a manager for the team. Being a manager means you get to train right along with the ski team! In Late Feb. of each season they hold races for the managers where you can win Medals! The combination of Good Behavior Day, Ski Club, then being a manager with the team in Middle School ,gives you a headstart to becoming fast and skilled on your skis.
It was fun visiting your web pages of your trip to Crystal Mtn. and I look forward to seeing the rest of the classes as they are added. Mrs. Eldridge has made the Ski Team pages for the highschool if you would like to visit them.
