Chicopee Field Trip/Lobster

Today at 9:30am my school left for Chicopee to go skiing/snowboarding. We got on the bus and it was about a 30 minute drive. When we got out a instructor told us all the rules of skiing/snowboarding, I chose snowboarding so I went with my group and we got our snowboarding boots, snowboard and helmet. Then our instructor taught us how to snowboard on one of the easiest terrain, although snowboarding is not as easy as it looks. After she left I had a lot of trouble and could only stay up about 10 seconds, so I experimented with different terrain. At about 2:00pm I had lunch and bought some hockey cards. Then I went out again and stayed up about half the way down and I was going extremely fast and I couldn't stop so I did a triple flip and "face plant". My friends moved on to the advanced hills so I had to snowboard by myself. Although my frustration grew I didn't give up. Then it was time to go but the chair lift didn't permit going down, so I had to go down the intermediate hill. I crashed several times but I still had fun. At 4:00pm my dad picked me up and I went to swimming lessons. Anyway, no web page has information on this strange thing that is having to my lobster (read previous post.) Again if you know anything about this please leave all you know in the comments.
Goodbye,
