Maggie's Amazing Adventure

Maggie’s Amazing Adventure!

“That, was a nice warm cup of hot chocolate”, explained Maggie wiping off the whip cream from her lips!

“Yah, now let’s go hit the train park I heard it snowed some serious powder”, replied Gordon.

It was a chilly day out in Fernie B.C. Maggie and Gordon were on their yearly ski trip together. The two of them always went somewhere new! They have both been best buds since they were 3 years old.
Maggie is 21, with long curly brown locks. She is shorter for her age with sparkling green eyes. Maggie is very good at sports and still trying to master skiing!

Gordon has dirty blonde hair with some natural curl; he is 6’0 exactly. He is 24 years old with beautiful brown eyes! Gordon loves to go snowboarding and hit the train park.

After a long day of skiing the Big Rookies, Maggie went into the small village of Fernie to do some shopping for herself. Meanwhile Gordon stayed out in the white fluffy powder to go night skiing.

“WAKE UP Gordon it’s already 9:00am and you were supposed to get up at 8am so we could be there early, I’ve been up for 1 hour and I thought you were up”, shouted Maggie with a big bang.

“Yes, whatever I was tired I got in at 11 last night from the hill”, explained Gordon.
“And you’ll never guess who I saw training”, said Gordon jumping up form his bed.

“Who, Who tell me”, Maggie said anxiously.

“ERIK GUAY”.

“Oh my gosh, he’s the best skier ever in the world and my favorite athlete”, explained Maggie so excited she could barely breath!

“I know”, said Gordon annoyed “I hear you talk about him every single day”!


After Gordon and Maggie ate their breakfast they headed off for the ski hill. They just arrived at the hill and all the B.C. skiers were filing into the lodge on a cold day! Last night it had snowed 32cm of powder.

Maggie went to the chairlift to hit her first run of the day. Gordon stayed behind to grab a cup of coffee in the lodge.

“WOW, what nice fresh powder”, thought Maggie to herself!

After Maggie got of the chairlift she got often momentum and started off down the hill. Before Maggie had even got half way down the hill she had fallen various times!

Maggie went for a left sharp turn and wiped out; she was rolling down the hill and lost both of her skis. Finally she came to a sudden stop, by that time her goggles had bit the dust and her face was all snow with spots of red. Maggie had really hurt her leg and was in major pain.

In a while a young man came and saw Maggie lying there. The man had his helmet on and goggles, he was all bundled up so you couldn’t see him. He helped Maggie up and the Ski Patrol crew came to help her up onto a bed to get her down the hill.

Gordon was just coming out of the lodge and saw someone in the bed. He recognized Maggie’s purple jacket with white designs on it. Gordon quickly rushed over and saw that it was her.

A whole half in hour pasted by and finally the paramedics came in to look at Maggie’s leg. They told her she had broken her leg, they were going to take her to the Fernie General Hospital to get her leg fixed up and Maggie would have to be on crutches for a few months. This meant that Maggie wouldn’t be doing anymore skiing this year, or any fun activities and sports.

By 10pm Maggie was up and out of the hospital with her pink cast on and her plain old colored crutches.

While she and Gordon were walking towards the car Maggie thought to herself who was that young man who helped me up and called the Ski Patrol?

“Hey Gordon who was that man all bundled up and came down with me”, asked Maggie curiously?

“Well, he had a ski racing jacket and ski pants on, and it said “Alpine National Race Team”, replied Gordon!

Just before Maggie and Gordon reached the car a nurse from the hospital came rushing out and yelled, “Maggie Wilson wait”.

“A man is here to see you, please come back in the hospital”, shouted the nurse.

“OK, I’ll be there in a minute”, shouted Maggie back to the friendly nurse.

“Let me just stay behind and I’ll start the car”, said Gordon.

As the hospital doors slid open there stood a young man with a jacket on that said “Alpine National Race Team”!

“Oh, are you ERIK GUAY”, exclaimed Maggie with a huge smile on her face?

“Yes, I sure am and I just came down to see how your leg was”, said Erik.
“Yah, it’s good but it does hurt a little with the cast just put on”, explained Maggie nervously!

“Well I’m glad your ok now”, replied Erik with a friendly smile.

Maggie and Erik sat down and talked for a while with a nice warm cup of hot cocoa! After that Erik walked with Maggie to the car and by that time Gordon had fallen asleep, with the radio blasting loud!

The next morning Gordon and Maggie headed off for the hill. Maggie wanted to go skiing so badly, but couldn’t! Maggie just waited in the lodge the whole morning and in the afternoon her and Gordon her going to head back home for Edmonton. The whole morning Maggie was reading her favorite book; Twilight! And after reading a few hundred pages, Maggie got in line for a chocolate muffin and just as she was walking back to her table Erik Guay had just walked in!

“Hey Maggie, how are you doing”, asked Erik?

“Pretty good just very tired and relaxing my leg”, said Maggie with her right leg resting on the chair!

“Just wanted to know if your doing ok and how your feeling”?

“Yeah, I’ll be ok thanks to your help”, said Maggie with a twinkle in her eyes!

“I better get going I have to do a practice run before starting the race to warm up me muscles”, said Erik in a strong voice.

“I really hope I can see you again”, exclaimed Maggie with a sad expression.

“Well, I sure hope so too”, replied Erik and gave Maggie a big huge!

After Erik left, Maggie felt like she was in love!
At 12:30pm Gordon came in and Maggie told him all about her love story with Erik! Maggie really hoped that she would see him again! And that was Maggie’s Amazing Adventure in Fernie B.C!

A few months later

By the time it was spring Maggie’s leg had heeled and she was much better. Maggie started a new job at a ski shop and Gordon became a lawyer. They both are doing well and have great paying jobs!! By the time it was winter Gordon and Maggie headed off for the mountains. And guess who was at Red Lodge Montana Ski Resort? ERIK GUAY! Maggie and Erik are really good friends now and they hang out a lot now! Maggie decided to also join the Alpine National Ski Team!
