Day Four

Day four got off to a bright start with the sun peeking through the clouds. As it was the weekend, it was much busier and lots of people arrived for the end of season bikini and boardshorts downhill race. Mr Hinks queued up at 8.30am to register for the race.

Classes started at 10am and all groups progressed onto new runs today. Groups 1 and 2 skied a long green run called Queen's while groups 3 and 4 skied from the top of the mountain to the base on blue runs. Group 5 worked on moguls on Sunnyside.

The splat hat was out again.

Several groups had lunch at the top of the mountain and then gathered to watch to downhill racing. The students loudly cheered as their hero Mr Hinks crossed the finishing line a very respectable third.

After the racing, groups fitted in a few quick runs before the end of lessons.

Students took off their boots and then gathered at the gondola for an apres ski hot chocolate.

The views were spectacular.

 

Staff and students gathered for photos.

 We all travelled back down in the gondola, watching the sun setting through the clouds.

After dinner, some students hadn't had enough snow and chose to go out on the bumboards.

Sandi was the sled master. Please wait for the video to load.

As it grew dark, everyone returned to the hotel for shower and bed.
