Dear Mom,

My favorite place in Alaska is Alyeska Ski Resort because I love to ski. My dad taught me to ski when I was seven years old. I've loved it ever since! I love to ski because when you slide down the slope you feel wind in your face and the smell of snow all around you. When you get to the bottom you feel the joy of making it. I love skiing and will never stop.

Sincerely,
Astrid
