Day 3 - Italian bluebird




After a 7.30am breakfast meet we assembled to head for the slopes where our gear had been stored. Everyone appeared to be excited to see what fun and exhilaration the day would bring.


Groups 1 and 2 were on the snow promptly at 9am. They have all taken their first steps to mastering moving on skis and their bums.After mastering the snow plough and more importantly being able to stop, Mae, the group took their first chair lift for a well deserved lunch. 

Evie the snow angel below.

1st Chair lift for group 1 and 2


by the end of the afternoon lesson groups 1 and 2 could all navigate a turn, often with some interesting styling. Leo and Rolando were most impressed with the variety of descents including on one ski and on their bottoms. Hopefully further adventures higher up the mountain will be taken.

Everyone has had a great day and the progress made this afternoon was noticeable. Group 3 had the company of Jackie our excellent Rayburn ski rep. Pictures and video below. Conditions are amazing.

Evening activity- trip bingo,

After such an exciting day, the group attempted to wind down with a few games of friendly bingo, which turned out to be more tense and released more adrenaline than the days skiing. Eyes were down and noise levels were at an all time high with prizes won throughout the night. Mr Lee to the rescue with his list of traditional bingo calls. What's 3 score and ten Jureil!

Lots of nominations for Splats hat and Dude today.

Splat: Madame Lovell
Dude: Mr Hinks
