One day I went to watch a race at the ski hill. The racers had to wear costumes, put on ski boots, and run down the hill while completing obstacles. I was just planning to be a spectator… but when we got there, the organizers said I could join in! They handed me a cowboy costume and a pair of snowboard boots that actually fit. My brother AJ got a mouse costume.
We hiked up the hill and then dashed down through the obstacle course. We had to find matching ski poles hidden in a field, hop over hay bales, sink a shot in frisbee golf, and chug either Mountain Dew or water. The first person to finish all the challenges was the winner.
I ended up in 3rd place, but the best part was that every kid who raced got a season ski pass! It was such a fun and crazy experience.
