Today is an exciting day because I came to Whistler with my 7 other friends. First, we met up in Tim Horton at Richmond Center. Then, we took the skytrain to the bus station to take the bus that goes to Whistler. It took us about 2 hours to get there. I was confused because when I first went to whistler with Alen’s group, we drove about 3 hours and 30 minutes to arrive at Whistler. On the bus, we talked about a lot of interesting things such as the past memories with our boyfriends or girlfriends, or our parents’ personalities. Time flied by so quickly, we arrived there very soon. We grabbed our luggages, and took them to a house that we rented before departure. The house was so big and beautiful. When we went into our house, we felt warm again because outside of the house had low temperature. Then, we chose the room that we liked, and left our packages in our room, and went to the lost lake to snow-shoe. Since we never wore this kind of shoes before, it took us a lot time to learn how to put on the shoes. When every member in our group was ready for the trip, our leader who went there one year ago guided us to the shoes trail. On the day, I saw the charming snowflakes covering every tree in the mountains. It seemed like I was living in my dream. I could not believe that there was such a attractive scenery in this world. During the trip, some funny things happened to my friends. For example, when we were walking upwards on a slope, my friend rolled down to the starting point because of the slippery road. Everyone just laughed at him because he had to walk the difficult path again. In the mountains, we found an ice lake that was covered by snow. The lake was surrounded by the snow mountains. In there, I felt that people are so insignificant compare to nature. Finally, we said goodbye to the charming lake.

Today is the second day of my journey, and this is the day that I had to go skiing on the mountain. When I woke up, I looked through the window and saw that it was snowing outside. At that time, I thought today would be a crazy day for me although I didn’t know why. We put on a lot of clothes and pants so that we would not feel cold later. Then we went to the center of the village to get the helmets, skiing, and shoes that we rented online before. The time of putting on shoes was our least favourite part because it took us about 1 hour to get ready for the skiing preparation. Wearing the shoes, I felt painful that it seemed like someone used iron chain to tie down my two ankles. I could not walk too fast when I wore those shoes. After that, we were divided into two groups to take the cable cars, and got off at the mid-station. At first, we practiced skiing on the training paths which were prepared for the beginners. I thought skiing was not as hard as I imagined before. After a few minutes of practice, I felt that I had learned how to ski but I could not control the direction successfully. However, controlling the direction was a big problem when I went down from the midpoint to the destination. Because I could not control the direction, and the track was so steep, so I lost control. Finally, I rolled back to starting point. I gave up continuing the trip after I fell a few times. I was lucky because I got help from some people who helped me go back to the cable car. At the end, I succeeded arrived at the destination.
