A Trip To Snow Mountains | When
my family was living in Sydney, we used to go to a
place called Snow Mountains because Sydney never has snow in the winter. Well
the weather can get very , very cold and the temperature could go as minus 5
degrees celcius, but it never snows. That was the reason why we liked going to
Snow Mountains. We went with a group of foreign students from different parts
of the world.
We went by bus to Canberra and
then we went up to the mountain. And believe me, you need to be an expert driver because the road was rough and wet. We had to go very
slowly and cautiously.Luckily, our driver was a real professional. He did a great job taking
us to the mountains, but I saw many good cars sliding
off the roads. The police were made busy by those accidents, but the police
seemed to have anticipated the situations. They had all kinds of equipment to help the poor cars.
When we reached the resort area,
a nice warm meal was waiting in a nice and warm dining room.
It was a relief. Then, we had to hire the "Snow Mountains gear" like
caps, scarves thick jackets and snow
boots. We simply had to do that or we would have been freezing to death.
I felt really big and fat in that outfit and I had to learn how
to walk in snow.
The most exciting part was the
toboggan ride. Toboggan is basically a fiberglass board designed to slide down
the snowy slopes. So I climbed up the hill. It turned out that my steering
ropes weren't tied on correctly, so I could not control my Toboggan properly. I
slid down really fast without being able to control where I was going. So I
ended up plugging into a freezing cold creek.
