Breakfast and packed lunches were done in record time today. Everyone was on the coach nice and early. The students worked themselves through the lift line nicely and we were at the top by 09:15. top class!
Morning session
Group 1 continued to develop their 'pizza' skills to ensure they could control their speed and turns. Plenty of crashes but plenty of smiles and determination seen.
Group 2 skied all the way over to Alpendorf, this great mileage has really helped them improve their confidence and skill set. Well done to those for who this is their first time in a ski resort!
Group 3 some steady blues to warm up followed by lots of nice cruiser reds. As a real treat they took the Sonntagskogelbahn 3 chair and from this chair the group removed their skis and hiked 200m up to the top of Sonntagskogel mountain peak at 1850m. From there they could see the tallest mountain in the area, Hollwand 2287m, and then had a great snowball fight. Following this they slid down to restart the ski session.
Afternoon session
Group 1 all did their first blue run (Whoop Whoop) a couple of wobbles and worries that 'it looked too steep'; however, perseverance from all of the students and staff! Paid off and they all successfully made it down the blue to the chairlift. Generally speaking for a first chair ride, it all went very slick and smooth. That was until Shaan accompanied Avani on the 6 chair. She'll claim that it was Avani's fault for the chaos that resulted in Avani falling; however, we have consulted with our VAR and we now know that this outcome is not to be blamed on Avani. Result Shaan is the SPLAT of day 2...
Group 2 - info and pics to follow
Group 3 Headed off to Alpendorf for their session covering lots of red and blue terrain. Everyone returned buzzing about their days skiing.
The condition first thing were simply perfect. Great corduroy and cool temperatures. as the day went on the temperatures rose and the pistes became a challenge with many moguls being formed. Tiring skiing for everyone but once again all were happy and content.
Evening activities
After a typical Austrian feast of Schnitzel and boiled potatoes the QM Snowpatrol headed off to the outdoor ice rink. Lots of fun had by everyone. Plenty of falls and screams, Mrs. Rochfort! The highlight of the evening was the rematch for the longest ice slide. Mrs. Rochfort attempted foul play at the start which was clearly caught on camera followed by an astonishing attempt to catch up with the winner... Mr. Hinks! LOL #epicfail
Day 3 SPLAT winner = Shaan
Day 3 Dude winner = Jorja
Day 3 Jinx winner = Mrs. Rochfort
