I can’t wait to share my winter holiday in Canada with you! On my first day in Canada, I was in a hurry to explore the huge country. However, the jet lag (时差) meant that I really needed a nice sleep for the rest of the day. So we went for our first stop to Whistler the next day. It is one of the best ski places in the world.

The day started out badly, I was still trying to get used to the Canadian ski slopes (斜坡), the snow was a lot thicker than in China and a lot more bumpy (颠簸的). This caused me to fall three or four times in the first few runs.

Things became better when I met Sebastian, who had been a coach for three years.

First we went up some easier slopes so that Sebastian could teach me. Although I thought I could ski well, there were still some skills for me to work on. He helped me with my skills, so that I could
