Last week, some of us went to Hunter Mountain for a whole day of skiing. Hunter Mountain is a ski resort 1 hour north of New Paltz with many different ski trails. The day started very early in the morning and it was a beautiful sunny day but very cold, around -15 Celsius degrees.The trip was arranged by school for a cost of only 25 dollars, which included rental of ski equipment, lift ticket and the bus trip.

Depending on your own ski level,  we could chose to either have a ski lesson or just go out on our own. Since we are from Sweden, where we learned to ski as children, we skipped the lesson. It was a great and funny day without any big accidents. There will be many more trips with other activities during our time here, which we are looking forward to.

All the best – Emma & Markus
