1 . Snowboarding in the Mountains

I will never forget the experience of seeing a part of Canada and snowboarding in the mountains.

I got a little emotional on the ________ from Montreal to our first stop in Vancouver. Although I have to ________ that I watched a movie while we flew over the prairies(大草原), I did occasionally ________ out of the window to see what was what! ________ most of the mountains in Alberta and B.C. were covered in clouds so I had to ________ our drive from Kelowna to Revelstoke to see those mountains!

I ________ I'd entered into Lord of the Rings territory(领地) as we took a lift to get to the top of Mt. Mackenzie in Revelstoke. Before snowboarding I learned not to ________ coffee in the morning, which only added shaking to my ________ during the first few descents(滑雪下坡) of the day. Snowboarding in powder is quite ________ from riding the icy slopes(斜坡) in Quebec. At least when you ________ down several meters, it's like falling on pillows! My main ________, however, was getting stuck in the few ________ sections of the mountain, though a few ________ skiers gave me a ride by letting me grab their ski poles and ________ me to the next drop.

Even though we could ________ really ski the top half of the mountain, it was still at least twice the size of the mountain we usually ________! Our phone pictures don't do justice to these mountains, ________ we have our own ________.

_______ walking, he ran into a young couple talking to each other in a foreign language. “Excuse me! Could help us please?” the woman called to him in strange English. “We are tourist, lost. Need ‘Dolphin’ hotel. You know where is?” She was courageous as she spoke a _______ language.
