Day 3 - up to the top of the mountain!

This morning we awoke to the most beautiful sunrise and our day just kept getting better and better! Yesterday's snow had created the most perfect conditions on the slopes so we were delighted but a little nervous when our instructors told us that we were heading straight up to the top! That of course meant that we had to get onto the chairlifts - no problem! Everyone enjoyed the 15min ride to the top where we spent the morning on the nursery slopes and then after lunch we all managed to ski safely all the way back down to the very bottom! The teachers are very proud of all the children and we know that you are too.

We had a great time at the bowling last night with plenty of strikes - some people have clearly been practising at the Icebowl! Tonight it's a quiz followed by an early night as we need to save our energy for tomorrow's skiing.  Keep an eye on the webcams - maybe you'll see us!

We love all your comments so leave us another one please!
