Low
visibility on the mountain today meant that the ‘Snow Bunnies’ had to be careful
down the runs. The fog was thick and it was very hard to see in front of you, particularly
later in the afternoon. Luckily for us everyone skied to the conditions and
there were no major injuries.
Snowball
fights were the theme of the day and it is fair to say the teachers were
popular targets. We were highly outnumbered during surprise ambush attacks in
which the students played dirty and attacked when the opposition were down (Joey!). Everyone spent time perfecting
their snowball making technique with some managing to turn perfectly beautiful
soft snow into rock hard projectiles.
Adi managed to smash his ‘S-turns’ early in the morning
and was keen to take his new found skills to some harder slopes. Su and Ruby made an awesome snowman– carrot for a nose and all! Jasmine accidentally attempted to ski
across exposed rock using her back as the skis – not a smart move but she miraculously came out unscathed.
Our lessons
were valuable yet again. Due to the conditions the skiers spent time perfecting
their technique. Sid managed to ski
backwards (on purpose and with great control) whilst Jaime chased him on a snowboard with a snowball in hand! The
boarders were attempting ‘fully sic’ tricks like ollies, tail grabs and 180s
today. Some were more successful than others with Cara winning sharpest turn in her snowboarding group.
A few sore
heads and bodies after today. However, we all scrubbed-up before heading out to
dinner at a restaurant in town!
Well-fed and
ready for bed. I wonder what tomorrow will have in store for us….

Mario – No, that’s not it, that’s my cookie stash!
