Vermont winters are always white. Sometimes there is tons of snow and others only a little. There are always tons of things to do like go sledding, skiing, building a snowman, etc. you're never bored. My favorite thing to do is go sledding. Living on a hill surrounded by fields means there are also big hills to go down. Due to COVID-19 I am at home more but that isn’t a bad thing. I get to spend more time outside with my family. I have plenty of stories about sledding but I want to tell you about this one that happened recently.
Last Tuesday we had a snow day. Therefore, my sister and I decided to head out and find some good sledding spots. We decided to go on a trail that our dad had made with the tractor. It was the perfect size for our sledding and we went very far. You might think that the rest of this is going to be about that snow day but it isn’t. Don’t get me wrong that was a fun day but the day after it was even better. One of the reasons why we had a snow day is because it was going to rain and sleet on top of the snow. So on Tuesday it was fun sledding but the rain hadn’t frozen all the way so it was still wet. That night it rained a little more and frozen the rest of the way. The snow was hard and crunchy.
After school I decided that it would be a good idea to go sledding because it would be super fast. I convinced my sister to come and we were off. We went out to the spot where we went before. We started up farther so we had time to prepare for the giant hill. Once you were going there was no stopping. Most of the time if you are going to fast you can just bail out but not this time. The snow was so hard and you were going so fast that if you did try to bail out it were hurt a lot. As I am going down I realize that I forgot that there was a big dip in the trail. Once I hit that it felt like I was flying through the air. I thought for sure I was going to fall out of my sled. Luckily I didn't. The worst part of the trail was at the very end where the trail was all messed up from where my dad had driven the tractor through it. Since it had rained it was frozen and when I went over it. I thought for sure I was going to break my butt or arm. I was lucky and I didn’t break anything. It was the most fun that I have had in a long time.
