Saturday I went skiing up at pebble creek and the snow was amazing even though it was a little crowded. As I was riding the chair lift I could really sit back and take in all of the surroundings. Doing so I focused my attention towards the top of the summit. At about 100 ft. until the top all that I really could see was the tall trees covered with snow and a little bit of the summit. The wind was calm because I was protected by the huge trees that were surrounding me. As I was getting closer I could see more details and see things that I couldn't at 1oo ft. When I got within 50 ft. from the top I could see the lift line station and I could make out the figure of the person operating it. I could also start to see some rock that weren't totally covered with snow. I was also out of protection from the trees and became exposed to the cold wind that sent chills down my spine. I also saw a beer can that was crushed and lying on the fresh powder that someone had dropped while riding the chair lift. Then as I got closer to my destination I could start to put everything that I had been seeing into perspective. I saw that the person operating the chair lift at the top was a lady that was all bundled up in layers of warm cloths. I also saw a ski patrol man with poles getting ready to mark off some areas of the mountain that could potentially be dangerous, and he was accompanied with his trusty black lab dog that seemed very excited for their little excursion. When I got off of the chair lift I could then see the little ski shack and a sign in front of it that had arrows pointing to certain destinations. For example it had Pocatello and next to it, it had the distance 14 miles. There also was one that read London 6437 miles. It was a beautiful day for skiing and it was nice to kick back on the chair lift and get a view of everything that was around me.
