SKISCHULE



A few of us from our Chalet thought it would be best to book up some Ski School for three days and it turned out to be a rather good decision for some people who are now experts at getting up and Skiing backwards. It is so different on Snow to dry slopes because it is so much more slippery but it is a lot easier to move. I think it was about -13 today and tomorrow i am going to wear two pairs of gloves because my fingertips got really cold but other than that it was only really my face that got chilly. This afternoon our Ski instructor took us a bit further up the slopes which was really fun because you can go quite fast. We practiced turning and stopping most of the afternoon and we gradually got further up the hill. Ali and me even went to the top of one of the slopes but we got a bit scared coming down because we were going really fast and you can just seeing your Ski's bouncing up and down, i was hoping that both my feet would be pointing in the right direction when we got to the bottom.
We finished about three o'clock and decided that we would go back to the Chalet for afternoon Tea and cake. It was great getting out of our Ski wear and by the time we got back we were pretty worn out! 
We are now just relaxing in the lounge and we might go to town soon to explore. 
Hope everyone is OK. I will try and get some pictures on here soon but i haven't taken any yet because it has started to get dark now.
