Going Skiing on the Top of Liberty Mountain

        Imagine, you were standing on the top of a huge hill... What would you do? I was that person and I skied down the hill. I had to get on a very long lift, go to the top of the mountain and ski on a black diamond obstacle course.  

     The lift I was going on was the called the Alpine lift. I went on it once so I know what it feels like to be on the lift. You usually have to wait in a long line to get on the lift unless it's night time. When it your turn to go you have to lean on this pad. Moments later the pad moves aside and you ski onto a conveyor belt, then a chair comes and picks you up. I think it is the easiest lift to get on because you just have to lean. When you get on the lift it is super long but the speed is really fast. There's a stop a the middle which I call the obstacle course. You have to get off quick or you will have to ski to the top. If you look on the ground when your almost at the top you will see no snow below you. When it's time to get of the lift I have to lean forward a little bit so my skis can touch the ground. 

      When your at the top of the whole entire mountain you can ski on a bunch of different trails. Some of them are cliffs, while others are just a slope that is very steep. On some trails even take you to the back of the mountain addressed the "South Pole." The lifts behind the mountain are very bumpy. They shake in midair so it is uncomfortable. I always go on the blue or green trails on the top of the mountain so I don't fall as much as I do on the double black diamond ones. If you go down a trail called Dipsy Doodle you can see other kids snow tubing.

      If you stop in the middle of the lift you will go to the obstacle course. There are jumps, planks and other obstacles that you can ski on. Once I accidentally hit the side of a jump and flipped over. I went on a plank but I fell off because it was too thin for my skis. When I tried to do a jump, I landed falling. People crashed onto me so I had to move away. I don't think I will try that thing again!

     I got to do a bunch of things is one trip. Going on a long lift,skiing on the top of the mountain and going on a obstacle course. What a great day!!!
