SKI TRIP

Some of the girls in our year were lucky enough to go on the Boston/New Hampshire ski trip it was an eight-day trip with loads of fun activities like tubing, shopping and of course skiing.

There was much excitement in the air at the airport on the morning of January 2nd. After a long 7-hour flight from Dublin to Boston airport we all loaded up on a bus ready to drive to our hotel. After we got to the hotel, we had our dinner and went up to our rooms excited for the adventures we had planned for the next few days.

We started skiing lessons the next day and we all got put in different groups doing different slopes and learning new skills, for 6 days of our trip we had 2hour blocks of skiing twice a day.

We did activities after skiing every day, shopping at the local outlets was something we did 2 times during our stay, we used the hotels outdoor pool to help with our muscle pains after our long days of skiing. One night we went out for dinner at Applebee’s a restaurant near to our hotel.

My personal favourite activity we did was tubing and I think most of the girls that went would agree, tubing being pushed down a big slope of snowing a donut like ring, It was a very exciting activity.

On our last night we had an ‘awards’ ceremony; biggest bruise won by Aoife Keegan. (Ouch!)

Biggest eyelash transformation won by Allie Sue. Most stylish on the slopes won by Summer Sweeney. Most epic fall on the slopes won by Cuillean Monaghan.

Little Miss Forgetful won by Megan Byrne.

It was great fun and a enjoyable way to spend our last night away.

We were also lucky enough to make a trip to Boston City before our departure. We went to a market place and many people made some last minute purchases for family and friends back home. Finally, we made our way to the airport to take our flight and end our trip.

We want to thank all of the people who help this trip come to life.
