Snow Day!

I look out the window. Snow! I turn on the radio and it blares, “SCHOOL IS OUT FOR EVERYONE IN THE AREA !!” I quickly run down stairs and slam down my breakfeast. Parents leave a note, still had to go in for work. Phone my friends and they get ready. I gear up and grab my snowboard and a sled. In a matching winter outfit with snowboarding boots, I am ready to go. Leave a note for my sister and I am out the door.

Once I am outside, I see a winter wonderland. Snow so white I am blinded. Even the trees sparkle. I feel the snow. Not icy or powdery, just perfect. I stick my hand down in the snow, about a foot deep.

My friends meet me and we go to the hill. It seems we were the first ones there. I decide to snowboard first. A clip in and down the hill I go, friends following after. I just love it the wind in my face, how fast I feel. Making S shapes with the board as I go down. I jump as I go down. Perfect landing! I stop, snow flies. Up and down I go again and again. This day is perfect, a snow day!
