Day 2: Our First Day of Skiing

Woke up to the snow falling outside, got all our equipment and made our way to the slopes. First fall of the day, Mr. Goodman's comical slip on our way to the gondola. Our best fall of the day goes to Liam Burgoyne, who skied off the piste and ended up being covered in snow up to his neck! The instructors have generally been good, but all the girls are preferring "Gorgeous" George. Ellis' ski instructor has changed his name to "Bob" as she can't pronounce Ellis.


Ski lessons continued throughout the afternoon, concluding with a 7km ski journey down to the bottom of the mountain.  This evening we are relaxing in the hotel's swimming pool, sauna and steam room. Some of the ladies have had the "Happy Feet" spa treatment, and some of the boys jumped into the jacuzzi. During Mrs. Jeffery's spa experience, she decided to walk into the male changing room and was greeted by someone who was showering.


 Yes... Our first day was very tiring.

Off to bed now, we've got our year 11 students on hand to check that everyone's in place. Our ski instructors said that they were impressed with our first day's work.

  1. Hi to you all. Just wanted to say thank you for my daily 'life line'.... and can you tell 'Bob' we're missing him, it's rather quiet around here without him.
