1 day tour to Piani di Bobbio

We started our journey at 7:30 on 29/12/2013. On the way to our destination, in a bus, we saw many mountain covered with snow. I was really excited because it was the first time I saw snow in real life. We reached our destination at approximately 09:00am.

The bus we went to Piani di Bobbio
             
After we got down from the bus we went in the winch, which left us on the top of the mountain. We started making snow balls and throwing it on each other. Then my father told we could play using the bob, snowboard and ski. I and my friend, Harshita took ski, while my dad and my dad's friend, Sivakumar, took the snow board. Others, in my friends and my family took the Bob.

While we got to work, my aunt said let's have a Lunch Break. After having lunch Harshita exchanged her ski  to a bob. I, my dad and Sivakumar uncle started to slid. The others started to play with the  bob. While I was skiing I fell down 6-7 times, but the last time fell was the most dangerous. The second I fell, there was a big crowd surrounding me. There was a dead end and I was going so fast without knowing how to brake, so I did not have any option other then falling down purposefully and thats exactly what I did.After this incident I thought skiing is not the best to play with, my dad and sivakumar uncle wanted to exchange their snow board into a bob. My friend, Harshita wanted to do skiing again. So, I and harshita exchanged our equipments. I was playing with the snow man for some time before I exchanged the equipments. Sivakumar uncle exchanged his snow board to 2 bobs. I took one too.

There was a small escalator in side to go up after sliding down, which costs 5 euro.

I had a lots of fun with the bob. It was really exciting. I and the other spent almost all of the time we had on this. I as a stunt man jumped over the escalator with the bob, but I had a back-ache after doing this. I started to slid again, but there is always a problem and this time it was the brakes. It refused to stop so I pulled it hard, but I realised I pulled it so hard that the bob turned around and I was going in reverse. There were people behind so I had to stop and pulled the brakes again and turtled. This incident happened 3-4 times. At last I learned to handle it properly.

We enjoyed till the end, but at the last I wanted to try skiing again. For the last 15 minutes I did skiing.

We started to pack up. We put our shoes on and headed to the winch. There was not enough space in the winch for 12 peoples, so we divided ourselves into 2. In the bus we shared the snacks we brought and departed in the metro on CADORNA FN.

My family were so tired after playing in the snow, that they went to sleep just after eating a piece of pandoro at night.
