On the first winter vacation after I came to Canada, I went to Whistler Mountain to go skiing with my family. We lived in a hotel for 5 days over there, and everything was great. On the last day of our skiing trip, a horrible thing happened.

That "thing" happened after we planned to go back to our hotel to pack up for our trip home. On the way down from the ski slope, I fell down on the snow and dislocated my shoulder. That was the most painful time in my life. Right after I fell down, I knew that my shoulder was not in the right position. The pain made me feel like a huge rock had crashed on my shoulder. I also could not stand up. I yelled at my brother who was skiing behind me. I decided to lay down and relax for a few minuets. The only thing that appeared in my mind was to wait for my brother to come, but my brother skied right past me. After I decided to lay down to relax, I thought that the end of the world had arrived.

I tried to stand up, but the pain was still there. I started to search for my skis, which slid away when I fell down. Then, I put on the skies and held onto the poles to try to ski down the slope. On the way down I saw two people who wore red and yellow jackets. They had a snowmobile beside them. They were the rescue team on Whistler Mountain. I started to think about if I should ask them for help. I decided to go past them without asking them for help. I went past them, but they yelled at me. I was very surprised that they yelled at me, and then they came toward me. Actually, they told me that my goggles had dropped on the ground. Then, one of the guys helped me to pick them up and gave them back to me. I said "thank you" to them, left them and skied down to the bottom of the mountain. Finally, I found my brother at the place where you return your skis and poles. We asked for help and they sent us to the hospital right after we finished returning the skis and poles.

Skiing is the most exciting sport I have ever done, but it is dangerous. I still love skiing much more then other sports, although it is an expensive sport. I will still go skiing, because I love it.
