Day 2 of Ski-ing 28 January 2009

Our second day of ski-ing was très bien. We ended up exchanging our boots at the ski hire shop. Ella and Samuel took a bigger size and I took the same size in a different style. It turns out there’s a little lever on the back of the boot to make it a fraction easier to walk when you don't have your skis on. So you don’t feel so much like an astronaut taking his first steps on the moon.

We had our second lesson. Ella started doing a few more things. She loves it all. She has no problem with any of it. The kids have good balance and find it easy to get up again when they fall down. Today we all got a bit better at hoisting ourselves back up with the rope pulley which gets you back to the top of the slope. After our lesson Samuel didn’t want to ski anymore. He only wanted to play in the snow and he dug a hole through the snow under the fence and burrowed down into it.

After we’d finished our lesson we had a scrumptious lunch at Lou Cantou and a couple of beers and then Ella and Andrew did some more ski-ing. I took some photos and did some video-ing and Samuel burrowed himself into his snow hole.
