Week 2 - Day 2 Ski trip

The forecast had suggested that the ski resort of Astun might have been shrouded in cloud and that it might be snowing so we were surprised to find it bathed in sunshine.

Merv negotiated a good deal on ski hire with the help of Joanna's translating skills. The less experienced opted for a lesson and the rest took the nearest lift looking for some easy runs.


Getting into ski boots can be difficult.

Steve and Bob audition for a new Fanta advert.

Not quite sure what Werner is doing...
...but he seems very pleased!
Gordon and Merv take a tow.
Watching the instructors being instructed was very entertaining. "Gordon you are not listening to me" was heard frequently.  

Unfortunately no cameras caught their collision when they forgot the first rule of gliding.  "You must always keep a good lookout."

Adrian refuels. 
Everyone had a good time, but I suspect that there will be a few aching limbs tomorrow.
We are hoping that the forecast for northerly wave on Wednesday is correct so that we can go flying.

Bob.
