The loaf at the end of todays fun.

What a fabulous day! The groups started bright and early with breakfast in the Pine room at 7.30am prompt. Everyone was pleased to see the cloud breaking and some fresh snow on the mountain. The starting temperatures this morning were a bit of a contrast, -8 degrees Celsius!

 

All groups progressed well and groups 3 and 4 were joined for the morning session. Milky and Kris made a few runs on the green pistes a challenge for everyone. the groups did human slalom, flew like birds, paired whirly birds, carving skills, side slipping and one footed exercises.

 

The afternoon session was even better we had good snow and bluebird. Group 2 made it up to the top of the super quad this afternoon. The ride itself must have been brilliant for them. Milky's lot found as much powder as possible and also took to the glades!

 Après Ski

After a long day's skiing, several of the students relaxed in the huge hot tub overlooking Sugarloaf.

 

 

 

After our evening meal, Naomi was presented with a huge Sugarloaf cake before students watched some movies American style with soda and cookies.

Naomi's birthday cake!

Splat's hat today went to our rep Andy for his stretcher ride off the mountain for his 'broken binding' followed by a fall in the trees which no one saw.

Dude hat went to Luke and Naomi for their dancing on snow and embrace.

Quotes of the day:

As Paramveer went towards the trees, Kris the instructor shouted "George! Retreat from the jungle!"

 

Milky: Have you seen the sleeping Indian? (Talking about the mountain formation)

Ben: What Paramveer?
