Giant Slalom Day

Today I competed in Giant Slalom. This is like Slalom but the gates are farther apart and you can get going much faster. The scoring is like Slalom where they add your times from the two run you get. On my first run I fell so I got just over 50 seconds. On my second run I did not fall and shaved off 7 seconds for a time of just over 43 seconds. So my dad thinks that I am in six place. We will find out later tonight what the official results are.

After Giant Slalom we went up to the top of the mountain. The highest point is around 9000 feet above sea level. We then came down some very long runs going through trees. It was a lot of fun going in and out of trees in the snow. The runs were very fast.

I had a great time this week. It was a lot of work and I am so tired now. Tomorrow I am leaving to go home and I am looking forward to playing with my friends. I will miss the waffles because the whole thing is made of sugary goodness.
