Jeanne's accident
In this passage, Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne’s ski trip to Colorado. Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne for many reasons. First, Jeanne was able to go on a week long trip to a ski lodge in Colorado, which was untamable for Lisa and her friends(Dimple). In the text, It states “Unfortunately, we don’t get too much snow in our region in December."-VictoriaK This shows that skiing in their area I not available, until later in the winter season and that the only option would be to go on vacation to northern state.(Vicki D)

However, Lisa and her friends were probably relived in the end that they had not gone on the trip. This is true due to the fact that Jeanne was pummeled by a snowboarder coning down the hill, uncontrollably and ended up injuring her. In the text, it says “he frantically tried to maneuver out of the skiers, but plowed into Jeanne, sending her crashing onto the packed snow.” (Andrea) As a result, this changed the mind set if Lisa and her friends, convincing them that it was better they did not go after all (Joanne). In conclusion, at first Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne’s ski trip, but were not in the end because of the accident Jeanne was involved in. (Mukund, Anu)
