My sisters decided to have a go at skiing yesterday, a bit unfortunate because it snowed fairly heavily on and off and there was a strong wind all day. The summit lift was shut because of the wind so after their lessons we went up to the Big D to have a practice. It was packed! That made it even harder than otherwise, because we had to line up for ages to get on the lift and then coming down you have to be careful not to hit anyone (and be careful not to fall in front of anyone and get hit!) I tried to tell them it is all part of the adventure - I mean how often do you get to go skiing while it is actually snowing? Despite it all they had a great time, and I think they would have had another go but they're going home today...

Have a good breakfast before you go out on the slopes. Porridge gives you lots of energy all day.
