Skiing (Day Four)

Or the same old....

Jules woke up in agony. She could not move her legs and her throat hurt! So she decided not to ski.

After the previous days events Peter and I decided to head back to the slope we liked (Crystal) and practice our turns. We arranged to meet Jules for lunch before we left and headed up the hill. 45 minutes later we were at the top and ready to go.

The first part of Crystal is quite steep before levelling off and then going steep again. Instead of doing nice wide turns we decided to do quick turns (to go faster) and to get more practice at it. It was pretty good fun. We were actually flying down the mountain but it was hard work on the thighs. Anyway we took it in turns skiing down while the other would watch and offer tips. We usually stopped on the level part after the first bit and then continued on. At one point however Peter was going so fast he could not stop! He flew down the mountain in record time.

We then went and met Jules for lunch. She had tried to do a green run that morning but it was just too painful for her.

We were all pretty stuffed after lunch so decided to just head home have a couple of drinks and play some cards (Jules won of course). After a great omelette for dinner we continued drinking and playing cards before heading off to bed!
