Wow. If we had tried to pick the perfect day for our first day of skiing I doubt we could have picked a better day. The conditions were amazing; the snow plentiful and the sky bright blue. After a hearty American breakfast we set off to the slopes of Brighton. Boots, skis and boards were waiting for us and it wasn't long until lessons were under way. All the groups had a fantastic day making great progress. In particular the beginners ski group that made it all the way down the mountain by the end of the day. My favourite quote of today was "I thought I would have a good time but I didn't know I would love it this much". The worst complaint from HWS was that they were wearing too many layers and were a little too warm - from a student and a member of staff!
We had a yellow bus full of happy faces and tired legs on the way home. A quick change before dinner at Applebees. Time to digest and then a swim in the pool. The waterside was fun in the dark and pool basketball match finished off the day. Just time left for quick showers and bed, ready for a repeat of today on the slopes (fingers crossed) and watching the Grizzlies play ice hockey in the evening.
We will try and post some photos as soon as we can.
