Snow Skiing Bliss Everyone has a favorite place they love to be. This place is usually chosen by an experience there or a feeling a person gets when they are spending time in that place. My favorite place in the whole world is Wolfe Creek Ski Resort in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. I love it there, and you would, too. Wolfe Creek Ski Resort is my most favorite place because it is where I first learned and started my passion for skiing. I was a ten year old Texas girl at the time and had never seen a pair of skis in my life. I became scared at first; afraid I would fall of the side of a mountain or something of that nature. However, as I took that first push off the top of the snow-packed slope, my fear left. It was as if I was flying through the air on a fluffy white cloud without a care in the world. Even though my class level and I were on the easiest bunny slope, in my mind I was the best skier on God’s green earth. My ski instructor was amazing. He had so much patience with the first time skiers. The instructor would help us up when we fell, and then give us advice on how to fix our mistakes. He was very thorough in his teaching, which made the lesson much more enjoyable. He was also very humorous and had the whole class laughing hysterically in no time. My friends and I had a blast at this resort. As we gained more experience in skiing, we graduated to the harder levels of mountain slopes. We would have contests to see who could fall the least amount of times before reaching the bottom of the steep and daring slopes. I probably fell about twice while skiing down each mountain. We had a fun and memorable experience.
If you are an outdoors person, you should definitely take the time to visit Wolfe Creek Ski Resort. The resort is beautiful, full of tall pine trees covered in glowing fresh and powdery snow. It is a very enjoyable and fun way to spend a winter vacation. You can learn how to ski, snowboard, ride a
