Porters code of conduct Code of conduct:

People below you have the right of way:

Obey all ski area signage:

Look before you leap:`

Stop where you can be seen:

Don't lose what you use:

   Stay in control - This was the main focus we worked on because it's the hardest thing to do when you're new to learning skiing and snowb=oarding. This was our main focus because as soon as you can stay in control you have done the hardest part.

Stay on the scene 

In my ski lesson at porter heights it was really fun and I learnt a lot of new valuable skills and rules that i didn't know before. It was a great day and everyone had a really good time. I made it to the intermediate slope which I didn't think I would and smashed through the fence a couple of times before I got the hang of it.

In my snowboarding class it was really good and I learned a lot in the short time that we were in a lesson.  It was only me and Tyler in a lesson with the snowboarding instructor. I picked it up quite fast and I got onto the second slope quickly because the snowboarding instructor said that we were good enough to try the harder slope. By the end of the day I was really sore but had improved so much.

What should you bring? Bring ski pants, thermals and polypro tops, a warm hat, good sunglasses and a bike helmet if you're not hiring a ski helmet. we used everything we listed . Bring a big lunch with lots of sugar trets to keep your energy up!

One thing we found funny was watching all of the people fall over, we know they were only learning but sometimes it's quite funny seeing everybody fall over each other. We  also found ourselves falling over quite funny, one time Lily did a full back roly poly and then I got straight up.            

SSR Challange week 3

This week I read 3 articles:

Be With A Tree

Save Our Kaouri 

How Do I use a cleaning station ( for some New Zealand walks)

Out of the three articles I found two that were intresting. (highlighted in grey)

I found the cleaning station one more intresting because I actually have never 

been to a walk that has a cleaning station. I also liked this Article because it 

had images and text on the images on what to do with the tools that you are 

given.

things to do if your going for a walk and you run into a cleaning stataion:

 Use the tools as profived but always scrape out your shoes before spraying

 with disonfectent because there is no point if you do it befroe scraping out

 your shoes.
