Ski Tips and What Do I Need To Do! By Hyerin We are having a ski trip to Akbulak on February 14, 2017. Before you get there, you should get everything prepared well, and get right things!       AIS is providing the lunch and ski equipment. We will go there at 7:55 am and return at 4:00 pm. If you need, you can bring some snacks to get more power!        It is important to get ski lessons before you ski if you have not tried skiing before. You also need to know basics of navigating your path in Akbulak.        For your safety, choose the right equipment for weather, like warm clothes, and stay safe on slopes, so don't go high if you are a beginner and don't go far away from your friends or teachers. 2

How Was It? By Oscar On February 14, we went on the ski trip. I was advanced group and we had so much fun, even though some of us fell. The first thing that we did was take a bus to go from AIS to Akbulak. Then we deposited our shoes and bags. After that, we got our ski boots, skis, and poles. Then everybody started to ski but, for us, we took a big lift to go up to the mountains. While in the lift, we were talking about diverse things. So on the first  slope, someone was always cutting. Therefore, I once fell into a wall made of snow. After, we had lunch with our friends. Then, we came back on the tracks, after my friend Tyler fell. I can tell it was a beautiful stunt. Someone did a terrible thing and I assisted to that while someone else fell on another person: he just skied on her. However, even though we fell, we had lots of fun there.   3
