Snowplough is so hard!

Snow snow snow glorious snow. We woke up this morning to light flurries of snow!
By the time we had reached the hill it was blowing a hooley and pouring with snow. Yeah!

Instructor stuff started proper today and we went back to the basics!
which end of the ski is the front, which is the back, how to do up your boots and how to ski in a straight line then sssssnnnnnnnnnooooowwwwwwwwwppppppllllllloooooouuuuggggghhhhhh!
When trying to do this it really is hard as we are so used to parallel skiing.

Also today we had our first video session; its so wierd to watch myself skiing - but useful at the same time.

This afty we went powder skiing for the first time - it was awesome and the snow was amazing even though there was only 5cm ish of it - loved it and cant wait for tomoz.

This evening we had a tuning session for tuning our skis and looking after them. Closely, to closely in fact (only had time for starter and pudding at dinner!)by my first climbing class at the college. Great fun - loved it.

So if that wasnt enough i am going to bed to get up nice and early hopefully for lots of powder skiing!

Laters people.
