Ski Trip: snowboarding at Powder Mountain with my friends

Last Thursday I went snowboarding at Powder Mountain with my friend. I came to Power Mountain last year, but I was skiing rather than snowboarding. I barely learned to ski last year, but after learning to snowboard this year, I felt that the views I saw on the mountain were different. Gliding freely through the mountain, I put my snowboard straight and all I could hear was the whistling wind. There are two ski areas at Power Mountain, one on the other mountain. We took the lift up the mountain 7 times at the first ski resort and we experienced different levels of piste. 

At one point we embarked on a very flat route without any slope. That's when it became difficult to move my snowboard forward and I had to unload it. Then my friend and I decided to slide down the black snow track. To my surprise, we got lost in the woods. Our snowboards were touching the soft white snow, and a pile of snow would cave in if we were not careful. Then we had enough of the first ski area and decided to go to the second ski area. It took us close to an hour and a half to complete the trip. 

We first took a bus to the second ski area and then we skied from halfway down the mountain to the bottom. Then we decided to take the lift up the mountain. The mountain was far steeper than we thought. While we were thinking that this was the immediate place to get off the lift, it turned out that we thought wrong. I sincerely thank this wonderful experience for letting me see the beauty of nature, allowing me to snowboard freely in the mountains with my good friends, and letting me hear the sound of the wind clamoring.
