Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. Charlie and Cooper always looked forward 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: to their family skiing trips. Have you ever gone skiing before? Oh, 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: you gotta bring your warm stuff, hats, gloves. Oh yeah, 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: you don't want to freeze yourself on a skiing trip. Well, 19 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: as soon as they arrived at the mountain, they were 20 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: ready to go. Raise you to the chair, left, Charlie shouted. 21 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: They speedily strapped on their skis, scrambling to see who 22 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: would hit the slopes first. They slid their way over 23 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: to the chair lift and skied straight into their seats. 24 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: Ooo die, shouted Cooper. As they headed up the mountain. 25 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: The boys looked over the edge and out around the 26 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: snowy landscape. Ah. I love digging the chair lift. I 27 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: can see everything from up here, Charlie said, Ah, me too. 28 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: Cooper agreed. I like how small everybody looks down there, 29 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: like tiny little ants. And look, there's the parking lot, 30 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: the ski lodge, all those tree tops and the yetti, 31 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: added Charlie. Yeah, and the wait what shouted Cooper. He 32 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: looked over in the same direction as Charlie and spotted it. 33 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: Darting through the trees below them was a huge, white, 34 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: fluffy yetti. Cooper would have missed all that white fur 35 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: in the snow if the yetti hadn't been zipping around 36 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: so clumsily through the trees he kept crashing into them. 37 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: Cooper squinted to see it better, then realize why the 38 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: yetti looked so uncoordinated. Charlie, that yetti is wearing skis. 39 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: I think it needs some lessons, said Charlie Harry excitedly. 40 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: When we get off this chair lift, we gotta find it. 41 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: Cooper agreed, Yeah, let's teach this YETI how to ski 42 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: without crashing into trees. At least. So the two boys 43 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: bounced up and down impatiently, all the while keeping their 44 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: eye glued to the bumbling, crashing Yeti. The chair lift 45 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: seemed to creep so slowly towards the top of the mountain, 46 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: definitely slower than ever before. Finally, though, it reached the 47 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: top and they hopped off to the woods, shouted Charlie 48 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: as he raised one hand up to the sky. They 49 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: turned away from the path down the mountain and headed 50 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: into the trees on their skis. Go slowly, watch over 51 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: the Yettie and the trees, Cooper whispered loudly, not wanting 52 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: to Yetie to hear them. White flashed right up ahead 53 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: of them. I think I see it. Charlie zigged around 54 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: the trees while Cooper zagged. Wobbly lines were carved out 55 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: in the snow from the Yeti skis, and they followed 56 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: them until there he was er. The Yeti struggled to 57 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: keep its balance in the trees ahead. The boys were 58 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: right behind the Yetti now and Charlie was tired of 59 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: trying to sneak up on it. Hey, Yedi, wait for us. 60 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: The startled Yeti toppled over at the sound of his voice. Ho, 61 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: hey up. The boys stopped next to the fallen, crashed 62 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: YEDDI first time skiing, guessed Charlie. 63 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: Oh luch pod huh. The Yeti poudered, well, I'm the 64 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: silver snow Oh YETI. I was trying to learn how 65 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: to ski in the woods so no one would see me. 66 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 2: But as you can tell, these trees just don't want 67 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: to let me through. 68 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: Hey keep tripping me. Oh, don't worry. We're here to 69 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: help Charlie and I. We've been skiing our whole lives. 70 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 2: Let us teach you really, Oh thank you. 71 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: The Yetie dusted itself off, renewed with excitement. Cooper and 72 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: Charlie showed it how to make a triangle with their 73 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: skis and snowplow forward. Do you know how to ski 74 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: like a snow plow making a triangle with the skis? Yeah, 75 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: that's a really good way to start learning and to control. 76 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: And oh look they're teaching the Yeti how to turn 77 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: left and right like this, asked the Yeti. The kids 78 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: both cheered him on. Yeah, you're doing great. After a 79 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: couple of minutes, the Yeti became much more confident in 80 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: its abilities. I got this now, it shouted, picking up speed, 81 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: Look at me cold. The yetti weaved around trees faster 82 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: and faster. It skidded past tree trunks and dodged bushes. 83 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: How was a close one, but it was no match, 84 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: Oh dear for the small boulders coming up in the path. 85 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: Look out, yei. The Yeti hit the boulders and went 86 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 1: flying out of the woods and onto a real trail 87 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: down the mountain lug avelow. People screamed as the Yeti 88 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: tumbled into their path, powdery snow flying all around them 89 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: as it rolled around and around across the mountain trail. 90 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: As the Yeti began to slow, it thought all would 91 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: be fine, until oh no, its skis popped off. They 92 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: took off down the mountain at top speeds. Ice skis, 93 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: yelled the Yeti, running wildly after them. Stop those skis. 94 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: The other skiers continued screaming in fright as the Yeti 95 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: dashed all around them, arms waving wildly. Above its head, 96 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: trying to catch the runaway skis. Wow, that would probably 97 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: be pretty scary if I was skiing and a wild 98 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: Yeti was running. Oh uh, I don't know what I 99 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: would do. What would you do if a wild, very 100 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: crazy looking Yeti was running towards you. One skier went 101 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: left and one went right, causing the Yeti to run 102 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: back and forth, looking even wilder than before. Some skiers 103 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: thought it was chasing them and screamed, skiing away as 104 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: fast as they could. By the dime, Cooper and Charlie 105 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: made it down the mountain. The Yeti was already off 106 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: the slope, but still trying to wrangle those skis. The 107 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: chairlift had stopped running and people were running to the 108 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: ski lodge to hide. Ah, it's a wild yetty woo, 109 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: it's after me. People all around thought the Yeti was 110 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: after them or wanted to steal their ski equipment. Come on, 111 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: we gotta help the Yedi. It's chaos down there, said Charlie. 112 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: Him and Cooper helped the Yeti chase down the skis. 113 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: The skis were finally apprehended and put back in the 114 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: hands of the Yeddi. It was grateful, but still looked 115 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: up bit bummed. Cooper tried to make the Yeti feel better. Hey, 116 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: it's okay, Let's try this again, this time at an 117 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: easier hill. They all headed over to the Bunny hill 118 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: and climbed up. They helped the Yeti strap on its 119 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: skis again and practiced that ski triangle all afternoon. They 120 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: practiced and other people began to notice. More and more 121 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: skiers returned to the mountain and the chair lifts started 122 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: crawling up again. Eventually everyone came back and wasn't scared 123 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: of the Yeti as it learned how to ski with 124 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: its new friends. News spread far and wide about the 125 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: skiing Yeti at the mountain. Cooper and Charlie continue to 126 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: teach the Yeti how to ski during their family vacations, 127 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: and others began to help out while they were gone. 128 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: Hi the next winter that Yeti had gotten so good 129 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: at it snow blowing and skate triangling that it was 130 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: hired as the instructor for the Bunny Hills. So if 131 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: you ever get to ski at Silver Star Mountain, yeah, 132 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: make sure you drop by the Bunny Hill and say 133 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: hello to silver the Yetie ski instructor.
