Replying to My ski poem f(All about opening day)

So the class assignment was to pick two words that mean a lot to you. I chose opening day but I still could use some more. Here it goes...

Opening Day

It is the single greatest day
that any skier can imagine.
You wake up at 6 A.M.
to be the first in line

you have waited six months
and it has finally come.
You have spent all of your summer
Going to ski camps,
Skiing in your backyard,
And practicing flips off the diving board

You ride up that beautiful metal chairlift
And reflect upon how this day came
Those countless hours watching ski movies
And the videos on YouTube
But most importantly having the days counted down
In your schools assignment book until December 1st

It is the day where you meet all of the friends
From last year who truly understand you
They also know what it is like on opening day
and do the same things you did during those six months
So for those of you who do not understand?
I am a skier and I cannot wait for opening day.
