Speaker 1: screen time, and we're gonna have a lot of fun

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: along the way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure?

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Charlie and Cooper always looked forward

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: to their family skiing trips. Have you ever gone skiing before? Oh?

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Gotta bring your warm stuff, hats, gloves.

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you.

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Don't want to freeze yourself on a skiing trip. Well,

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: as soon as they arrived at the mountain, they were

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: ready to go. Raise you to the chair left Charlie shouted.

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: They speedily strapped on their skis, scrambling to see who

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: would hit the slopes first. They slid their way over

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: to the chair lift and skied straight into their seats.

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: Ooo ow die, shouted Cooper. As they headed up the mountain.

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: The boys looked over the edge and out around the

28
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: snowy landscape.

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: Ah.

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: I love digging the chair lift. I can see everything

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: from up here, Charlie said, Ah, me too. Cooper agreed.

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: I like how small everybody looks down there, like tiny

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: little ants. And look, there's the parking lot, the ski lodge,

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: all those tree tops and the yetti, added Charlie. Yeah,

35
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: and the wait what, shouted Cooper. He looked over in

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: the same direction as Charlie and spotted it. Darting through

37
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: the trees below them was a huge, white, fluffy yetti.

38
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: Cooper would have missed all that white fur in the

39
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: snow if the yetti hadn't been zipping around so clumsily

40
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: through the trees he kept crashing into them. Cooper squinted

41
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: to see it better, then realize why the yetti looked

42
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: so uncoordinated. Charlie, that yetti is wearing skis. I think

43
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: it needs some lessons, said Charlie, very excitedly. When we

44
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: get off this chairlift, we gotta find it. Cooper agreed, Yeah,

45
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: let's teach this YETI how to ski without crashing into trees.

46
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: At least. So the two boys bounced up and down impatiently,

47
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: all the while keeping their eye glued to the bumbling,

48
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: crashing Yetti. The chair lift seemed to creep so slowly

49
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: towards the top of the mountain, definitely slower than ever before. Finally, though,

50
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: it reached the top and they hopped off to the woods,

51
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: shouted Charlie as he raised one hand up to the sky.

52
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: They turned away from the path down the mountain and

53
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: headed into the trees on their skis. Go slowly, watch

54
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: over the Yettie and the trees, Cooper whispered loudly, not

55
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: wanting to YETI to hear them. White flash right up

56
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: ahead of them. I think I see it. Charlie zigged

57
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: around the trees while Cooper zagged. Wobbly lines were carved

58
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: out in the snow from the Yeti skis, and they

59
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: followed them until there he was er. The Yeti struggled

60
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: to keep its balance in the trees ahead The boys

61
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: were right behind the Yetti now and Charlie was tired

62
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: of trying to sneak up on it. Hey, Yedi, wait

63
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: for us. The startled YETI toppled over at the sound

64
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: of his voice.

65
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: Ho, hey up.

66
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: The boys stopped next to the fallen, crashed YETI, first

67
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: time skiing, guessed Charlie. Oh luch pad huh the YETI pouded.

68
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: Well, I'm the silver snow Oh YETI. I was trying

69
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: to learn how to ski in the woods so no

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: one would see me.

71
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: But as he can.

72
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: Tell, these trees just don't want to let me through.

73
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: Hey keep tripping me. Oh, don't worry. We're here to

74
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: help Charlie and I. We've been skiing our whole lives.

75
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Let us teach you really.

76
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh thank you.

77
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: The YETI, he dusted itself off, renewed with excitement. Cooper

78
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: and Charlie showed it how to make a triangle with

79
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: their skis and snowplow forward. Do you know how to

80
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: ski like a snowplow making a triangle with the skis. Yeah,

81
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: that's a really good way to start learning and to control.

82
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: And oh look they're teaching the YETI how to turn left.

83
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: And right like this, asked the Yeti. The kids both

84
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: cheered him on. Yeah, you're doing great. After a couple

85
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: of minutes, the Yeti became much more confident in its abilities.

86
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: I got this now, it shouted, picking up speed, Look

87
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: at me gold. The yetti weaved around trees faster and faster.

88
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: It skidded past tree trunks and dodged bushes. How was

89
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: a close one, but it was no match, oh dear

90
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: for the small boulders coming up.

91
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: In the path. Look out, yei.

92
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: The Yeti hit the boulders and went flying out of

93
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: the woods and.

94
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: Onto a real trail down the mountain lug avelow.

95
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: People screamed as the yetti tumbled into their path, powdery

96
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: snow flying all around them as it rolled around and

97
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: around across the mountain trail. As the Yeti began to slow,

98
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: it thought all would be fine, until oh no, its

99
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: skis popped off. They took off down the mountain at

100
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: top speeds. Ice skis, yelled the Yeti, running wildly after them.

101
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: Stop those skis.

102
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: The other skiers continued screaming in fright as the Yeti

103
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: dashed all around them, arms waving wildly above its head.

104
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Trying to catch the runaway skis. Wow, that would probably

105
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: be pretty scary if I was skiing and a wild

106
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: YETI was running. Oh uh, I don't know what I

107
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: would do. What would you do if a wild, very

108
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: crazy looking Yeti was running towards you.

109
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: One skier went.

110
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Left and one went right, causing the Yeti to run

111
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: back and forth, looking even wilder than before. Some skiers

112
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: thought it was chasing them and screamed, skiing away as

113
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: fast as they could. By the dime, Cooper and Charlie

114
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: made it down the mountain. The Yeti was already off

115
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: the slope, but still trying to wrangle those skis. The

116
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: chairlift had stopped running and people were running to the

117
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: ski lodge to hide. Ah, it's a wild yetty.

118
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: Who it's after me?

119
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: People all around thought the Yeti was after them or

120
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: wanted to steal their ski equipment. Come on, we gotta

121
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: help the Yedi. It's chaos down there, said Charlie. Him

122
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: and Cooper helped the Yeti chase down the skis. The

123
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: skis were finally apprehended and put in the hands of

124
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: the Yeti. It was grateful, but still looked a bit bummed.

125
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Cooper tried to make the Yeti feel better. Hey, it's okay,

126
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: let's try this again, this time at an easier hill.

127
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: They all headed over to the Bunny Hill and climbed up.

128
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: They helped the Yeti strap on its skis again and

129
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: practiced that ski triangle all afternoon. They practiced and other

130
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: people began to notice. More and more skiers returned to

131
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: the mountain and the chair lifts started crawling up again.

132
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: Eventually everyone came back and wasn't scared of the Yeti

133
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: as it learned how to ski with its new friends.

134
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: News spread far and wide about the skiing Yeti at

135
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: the mountain. Cooper and Charlie continue to teach the Yeti

136
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: how to ski during their family vacations, and others began

137
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: to help out while they were gone. Hi the next

138
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: winter that Yeddi had gotten so.

139
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: Good at it it's snow blowing and skate triangle ing.

140
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: That it was hired as the instructor for the Bunny Hills.

141
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: So if you ever get to ski at Silver Star Mountain, yeah,

142
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: make sure you drop by the Bunny Hill and say

143
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: hello to Silver the Yetie ski instructor.
