Well our Day 3 came and went in an even better way.
Wake up at 6:15, then run, then breakfast, then on the lift by 8:00. Nice sunshine and an even better looking mountain.
We had great snow conditions to ski on. The only not so pleasant experience happened when some wanted to go to the bathroom around 9:30. While they went for it, the rest of us stayed in line so we wouldn’t lose our turn. Unfortunately at that time the temperature rose above 0 while the snow guns around us were still going. Let’s say that we felt we were in a shower for 15 minutes. But we survived. A run later, we sent the younger ones for a break while the rest of us skied in order to dry off.
We stopped for lunch around 11:30 am and went back out at 12:30 till 2:30 pm. This included capturing them twice on video.
Claude had to admit that he was challenged on a few occasions. First he realised he had forgotten the lunch tickets and had to find a ride with the hill manager to the dorm to get them in order to allow the kids to eat. Then he realised that he had left his radio pack with his lift pass, which his daughter had to bring back up. Then as he was going to call it quits, he realised he had left his back pack at the top of the hill. So he went back for another run. Coach Teague only did one that we are aware of. As he was putting his skis on near the lift, he realised that he was not carrying his own skis. Oops. Michele only ran around the lodge three times in order to find out to whom the pack she had just found belonged.
On the parents side, they decided to go spend money in North Conway. Well… It is only money.
Tonight was lasagne night. Miamm.
Tomorrow we are packing, and skiing until lunch. Then on the road again.
P.S. They are skiing well. The coaches are observing great progress.
Claude
