Nick Harrison's Space

Class 10 Trip Blog

My favourite aspect of the trip would have to be the snow. Petulant dwarves (in great little blue uniforms) aside, both the trip to and the snow itself were great. I haven’t been to snow before but I still had a great time learning to ski (sort of) and fooling around in the snow, we even built huge snow trenches and pillboxes for snowball fights. After we went to ski lessons in the morning we filled in time by drinking Milo, getting poisoned by the fake snow and getting up early in the morning to go to the top of a ridge to get a good view. Despite being in ‘pre-school’ as Phil, who keeps accusing me of supporting the All Blacks and having a handbag (it is a Bob Marley satchel Phil, a s-a-t-c-h-e-l), calls it I still liked the experience. When we were there we had snowball fights with lifties and lived in the cafe, which is what our class does all the time. Still, I think the best thing about being the snow was finally being able to say the snow gear I bought in Australia had a legitimate use.

P.S. New Zealand police are just as bad as ours.
