Here's What It's Like to Ride on an Alpine Slide in Austria:

by Elizabeth

1. First you ride up the hill backwards.  You are pulled by a stick attached to a line.  It was fun because it is fast at the end and you could see the lake the whole way up.
2. Then once you get to the top, you move your car to the track.  A worker put some special pads on the bottom of the car.
3. Next you choose the track you want to ride on.
4. Then you slide down. You can go fast by pushing a stick down or slow by pulling it up.
5. It was really fun!!

This is riding up to the top of the hill.

This is the view on the ride up.
