Pow Pow!

Some weary bodies this morning and everyone was slow to get going as Romy hid Mario's snowboard and we had to wait for him to find it! Once we got to the mountain we forgot about our aches and enjoyed the beauty that Mt Hutt has to offer. First runs were epic as we made first tracks through the fresh snow that had fallen overnight. Jasmine was sighted carving up the bowl. That's one girl with zero fear! A beautiful morning with really fun conditions.

Lessons saw everyone improve yet again. Tash, Eleanor and Nicola pushed through pain to nail turns down Highway 72. Joey has never been more scared in his life as he launched himself off a black run and ripped the back of his pants in the process. The beginner skiers braved Broadway and made it to the bottom unscathed. Sid 'the witch doctor' Roche used his magical powers to catch a snowball and throw it straight back at Ruby and we’re now true believers in his voodoo magic! Chris has been taking some hard knocks but keeps impressing us as he gets back up, tightens his bindings and charges down the mountain again and again.

Conditions weren't as good this afternoon so many opted for a hot chocolate in the cafeteria to rest their tired bodies. 

Tonight is the annual Methven Table Tennis Open. Players are currently warming up for Round 1. Favourites going into the Championship are Wouter and Sid. Good luck to all contestants - play hard or go home!

Last day on the mountain tomorrow everyone keep your fingers crossed for snow overnight!
