Hot tubs!

Today turned into another spectacularly sunny day with blue skies to make us all look a bit red in the face. There was no snow last night so Stuart and I enjoyed cutting up the corduroy on the first few runs of the day. Peak 10 had opened today and it had a good length of run from the top. While we were enjoying the early morning snow, Mariska and Thomas we starting their first full day ski lesson.

The adults then carved the white stuff for the rest of the day trying out some news runs today as well as some of the better ones from yesterday. We only experienced one evil lift that nearly knocked all us off it as it whipped around the corner and knocked us behind our knees.

We went off to watch the snowboard competition at the terrain park in the afternoon. Stu and I had been told to go down beside the terrain park in order to get the best vantage point. Unfortunately, we took the wrong turning and ended up next to lots of huge jumps - the cowards we are, we slipped down the side of them only tempting one small jump once we had seen a five year old accomplishing it! Mind you it was a close call for Stu not to end up in a heap in the trees! We didn't manage to watch the snowboarders very well, all we do know is a girl of 19 was the winner having got some massive air!

Mariska and Thomas had a good time in their lesson, although there was only three of them. They did some timed racing and took great satisfaction looking at their results that were posted on the Internet this evening. I think we may all have to go and try it out :)

This evening we all jumped in the hot tubs, while Thomas rolled around in the snow. I have caught it on video for evidence. We then all headed out for dinner, unfortunately, the place we really wanted had a 90 minute wait so we went off the a grill restaurant, which please Thomas, as he could have his steak :)

We have all been having vivid dreams - we think it is because of the altitude, but at least the headaches have stopped. Lets see if we have anymore tonight.

No snow forecast until Tuesday so lets hope the snow on the slopes can last until the end of tomorrow.

It looks like we weren't the only ones with snow .......This is a photo from Scotland just this morning with the dogs playing in the snow!
