Lots of changes in conditions and weather have brought us new challenges but everyone did well. Swimming pools and flumes also great. More tomorrow

Tuesday

Apologies for the blogging delays. Unfortunately the signal up on the mountain is not great and blog posts are not always working. Everyone is doing well and skiing on the mountain. The weather has been quite changeable today which hasn't helped our connectivity.  We are swimming when we return to the hotel, so we will update again later.

Intermediate and advanced groups at the top of the mountain

Tuesday morning

Low cloud makes for different conditions today. Mr Hughes has been reunited with his suitcase, so all is good!

We are safely back at the hotel after a good day of skiing and a quick visit to M Preis to stock up on drinks and snacks. Dinner and a relaxing evening planned for tonight.

All fed and watered
