Monopoly Bandits!

Gosh, we are three times lucky... a third day of blue skies (however, no new snow!). After another monster breakfast including porridge, bacon, omelet, eggie bread and toast! Well, actually we didn't all eat everything! it was time to hit the slopes.

Stuart and I took Thomas up on the slopes with David, Sam and Mariska following later. We managed at least four runs before they met us. Thomas and Mariska were both showing off their new skills from their lesson the day before.

One of the big highlights was going down the timed race track. Mariska and Thomas had done the day before, including how well they had done on the timed race track. We all purchased two runs at $10 each - David raced Thomas, I raced Mariska, and Stuart and Sam battled it out. None of us managed a gold medal - only Mariska, Thomas and I managed a sliver:) The rest were bronze.

The afternoon was good although a little cold and icy as most of the lose snow had been scraped off the top by snowboarders (got to blame them!). Since Mariska and Thomas shared the head camera today - there were some shots that just have to be shown. Just watch Mariska catching her brother taking a fall on the icy moguls. But he wasn't the only one, as Mariska followed suit and then poor David got taken out by an out of control skier, so also ended up in the snow.

Tonight the girls went off in search of a nail bar unfortunately after walking the length of the Main Street, in amongst doing some other tasks - like booking dog sledging for Christmas Day, we found a place. However, we were too late, so we will have to go back another night to get our toes painted :) Not that anyone is going to see them up here.

The night was completed by a big game of Monopoly, although we didn't manage o finish so it was put to the side with Sam and David beginning extra ordinarily rich, Stuart and Thomas breaking all of us with their hotel rent, so hence Mariska and I are almost broke and just holding in there!
