Today was our second day at ski school. When we got there we sorted out our boots and ski's. The junior group went off and was going up the pull lift and they were practising how to snow plough and turn and at the end they had a race and Archie won. The teenagers were practising snow plough down the bigger mountain. Then they went to the big seat lift and practiced turning. Then at the end they had an hour free time and some of the older teenagers went down the red hills and somke fell.

Today in our second day at ski school. I learnt how to turn and snow plough, it was  a bit wobbly at the start after hard work we all managed to achieve the targets and at the end of the day we had a race with junior group and Archie won and for the last hour of our day we had free time to go on what we have been on. It was fun all day but if we have a look at everyones faces they have a little sun burn despite all the cream. We all ignored that but really it was fun.

Had a good day skiing up and down the hills cant wait for the bigger hills and the only bad thing I got sun burn on my nose :( from Luke.



Good Evening and Happy Easter Monday!
Today we had our second lesson at the ski school and progress would be an understatement- you wouldn't believe that within eight hours, some of us who have never been skiing before were able to successfully ski down some of the advanced slopes. Even the people who weren't able to achieve the advanced slopes had made progress and we are all now well on our way to be Olympic standard skiers by the end of this fantastic holiday!
Nevertheless, there has of course been the (many) tumbles, and after laughing (un)sympathetically we helped them on their feet again. You wouldn't believe how much strength and energy it takes to help someone back up again when they have three foot planks of fibre glass tied to their feet!
We are currently all in the dining room, some of us have just finished doing our evening revision (we are honestly revising and not just talking while having the text book open in front of us!) and the rest of us are playing table games, or trying to, at least!
Fingers crossed for nice weather tomorrow and as little sun burn as possible! (Yes - There is an unlucky handful of us who have burnt our faces, despite being covered in suncream and skiing through temperates of minus six!)
Goodnight from me, Alice, and everyone else in Cantaclaer! x

Some pictures to give a taste of the day. We looked through all of the piccies and chose our favourites. We will try to get pictures of everyone on here during the week. We will be putting together a disk with all the pictures and videos for everyone when we get home.

My favourite is this one of Patrick.....we are very proud of Patrick, he is doing so well. The theme of today was the incredible progress they have made and Patrick made it onto the green slope........

Have a good day in 'rainy' England. (ha ha). The forecast is for another great skiing day tomorrow but then Wednesday is looking like more snow and more chains on the bus! The Scouts are being a real credit to the Group and Units and it is once again a pleasure to spend such quality time with your sons and daughters. They are having a ball....but skiing is so tiring, and they are tiring fast. More tomorrow.
