You did better than I did. When I did that school trip, I sprained my ankle in the training session and sat by the fire for the rest of the day. Come to think of it, that was a good day!

I miss skiing⛷ I haven’t been in a few years. There’s no feeling in the world like skiing down a mountain. You just float on those white fluffy clouds of snow, flying through the sky, feeling like your part of the heavens. ❄️ ☁️ 😇 🎿

I laughed out loud, I could not help it. I only went skiing once, in Ruidoso, New Mexico, and it was not nearly as exciting as your trip. Thanks for sharing this story!

I went snowboarding on that hill first time I went to NZ, it was a glorious sunny day and I rode in a t-shirt.

When I told my friends back home that I had rode a volcano in my t-shirt, they thought I was insane.

Don’t suppose you were around when Ruapehu puffed itself in 96?
