I liked it when I was going down the bunny hills really fast and Mrs.R told me that it was lunch time and to head over to the lounge while I flew by. So I did, and unfortunately I’m not the best person when it comes to brakes so I well tried to do the pizza slice method but ended up running over Hannah B. at the rack of skis and kept on going about a foot and stopped. Not long while I was on the ground Machenzie slid and almost hit me.
