Whiteout. It was really grim, cold and snowy. Yet still our nutcase of an instructor Eric took us to the summit of the mountain. The visibility was poor all day but it was so AWESOME! We all know about gravity, which unlucky for us kept making us fall face first into the snow. On the bright side it didn't hurt because of the whiteout. In all honesty it'd be best if we explained the stories in person, but here's a brief summary: angry German overtaking, severe faceplants, "parallel skiis!" "shoosht to the lieft", spoons and creme eggs, chins and oranges, seven year olds owning the slopes, "churdy murdy". We hate home now. We are Austrian...
The Explorers & Colin
They are quite mad - but they would have to be to go skiing at the top of the mountain today. However, their stories told on the coach are fantastic to hear and relive. The rest of the group enjoyed their skiing on blue runs and we built a ramp on the side of the green run to show off their ski jumping skills, or ability to fall gracefully.
Tonight we have played competitive games - all will be revealed on the DVD I will put together for everyone. I can tell you it is hilariously funny and I am already raking in the Euros to stop most of it appearing on facebook or Youtube. After the blizzards today (for the whole day!!) we are promised clearer but much colder weather for our last two days here.
Watch these video clips to see how far all of the Scouts have come in just four days!
Wow. What a fantastic time you are all still having and your skills on the slopes are awesome. I can't wait to see the DVD.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next installment.
