DAY TWO OF SKI SCHOOL




Once again my alarm didn't go off this morning so it was a quick wash and a quick breakfast before our Ski School began. Me and Ali had to move into a higher group which we were not really looking forward to because everyone was German and we didn't know anyone. Our instructor couldn't speak a lot of English and he didn't think it was necessary to tell us how to use the chair lifts so he just pushed us through the barrier. He didn't Really pay attention to what we were doing either and he explained everything in German so it was very difficult to know what he wanted us to do. Because we had split up from Dad we didn't have any money with us so when we stopped at a Cafe for lunch i told our instructor that i needed to go down to the bottom of the mountain to find dad and get some cash but he said i wasn't allowed. Then i had to tell him again and he said there is not enough time to go. He didn't really seem to care that me and Ali would have to go for another 2 hours without food so i told him that we were leaving anyway so me and Ali went and found Dad and our old group back at the bottom and we decided to stay with them. 
Then in the afternoon we went up the mountain again but it was a lot more fun this time because we knew everyone and we got to go quite high up. It was really fun and we learnt how to turn and carve in the snow while we were going fast. I fell over a couple of time but they were only little skids but i did hurt my leg because one time when i fell my ski dug into the snow and i hit the back of my leg. Our Ski instructor still wants a few of us to move up a group but i am not sure wether i want to. I am sure it will be a lot more fun though if a few of us from our group move up. Dad is still getting to grips with the snow plough but he is doing OK. He gets very tired when we finish though but he wouldn't if he didn't keep falling over! 
Hopefully tomorrow will be more fun in the morning and we will get in a good group but i am really looking forward to just doing our own thing and exploring the other parts of the resort and of course doing a lot more skiing.
