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 ________. When my husband and I asked each other what was our favorite ________ of the trip, other than spending time with each other, it was ________ the view.
