Skiing

Skiing I ski up to the sign. It reads KT Gully: This is completely natural ungroomed terrain. Ski with caution.   It is recommended to bring a GPS enabled device to help rescuers find you in the event of an emergency. My parents ask if I thought it was a good idea to go down it. Sarah and I both responded "Definitely".  I skied under the sign. It was pretty flat for maybe fifty feet, and then dropped off, with a steep face full of five foot tall moguls and patches of ice right underneath them. Sarah went first, cautiously turning around the moguls. I went next, slowly at first, and speeding up when it started to flatten out. In a few minutes, I had finished the first face. I sat down next to Sarah and watched my parents ski down. We were talking about our cat, who was having surgery that day, when we saw snowballs start rolling down the hill. We then watched our dad fall, and slide about ten feet down the mountain when he tried to stand up. His skis popped off and my mom had to get them for him. Sarah and I started laughing and had a hard time stopping until we continued down the slope.
