SKIING IN ALTO CAMPOO - Heaven & Hell (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
On the 8th of December my sister, her boyfriend, another four friends and me went to the ski station called Alto Campoo, in Cantabria (Reinosa) by van. We were very excited because we hadn’t skied since the last winter and the weather was going to be perfect, but suddenly everything went wrong.
The day arrived and my family put our equipment in the van. Then we went to pick up our friends, Josu, Julen, Iñigo and Nerea to Barakaldo at 6 o’clock in the morning. After three boring hours with traffic jams, we stopped in the petrol station of Reinosa to buy bread and we went up to Alto Campoo station. The road had a lot of curves and we couldn’t see anything because of the fog. Furthermore, the weather wasn’t good as they had said on TV, it was rainy and the wind was blowing hard, so we started to be regretful to be there. We saw that almost all the pistes were closed however, we paid 25€ and we decided to go skiing::text like we had planed. We were frustrated and we were cold in our bodies because it was snowing all the time . Moreover, the chair lift moved a lot and I was very frightened.
We descended the same pistes a few times and we went to the restaurant to have lunch. This was the best moment of the day because we drank hot soup and we took our wet clothes off.
Finally, we decided to stop skiing and we went to the van to relax speaking since it was impossible to stay outside. Then we kept all the things and we went home again, three hours before they closed the station.
In conclusion, that day was one of the worst I remember in my life and I don’t want to happen it again. From now on, if this winter we go skiing again I am going to make sure the weather is good before going skiing.
