On the Slopes

Tuesday was a gorgeous day - mostly blue skies and calm conditions perfect for skiing.

Post lesson I met up with Vera, a work colleague and skiing enthusiast! Together we toured around with Vera leading the way showing me new and challenging trails. It was great. Time passed too quickly though and I needed to meet back up with the rest of the family who had finished lessons and lunch.

With Josh exchanging his snowboard for skis, we headed off towards Pleasant Valley.  At the top we tried a whole group photo - almost successful. 


The kids were still obsessed with racing down the runs as fast as possible despite our best attempts to get them to practise their S turns and to ski in control. Unfortunately as predicted on the last run, Maki was the unfortunate one to come unstuck while going fast ending with a large crash. Luckily he was mostly shaken up rather than hurt. Not the best way to finish an otherwise wonderful day of skiing.
