A quick group split and off everyone went... I'd like to say it was graceful and dignified but I can't lie.. Brilliant fun.. The first hour for the beginners was a mass tumble of poles, skis, googles and giggles... But in no time all were skiing (to a fashion).
The weather was great and by lunch everyone was traveling up the button lift and skiing independently.. The advanced group were well off and away and I stayed with the beginners... I feel like I've had a full body work out picking up kids left right and centre.. Less pizza tomorrow methinks!! By the afternoon the standard for all had improved significantly snd it was fantastic to see how quickly they are all coming along..
All will be to the top of the lifts Tomorrow and we are forecast fresh snow so will hopefully benefit from some fresh powder too...
The first TWONK awards will take place later and the winner will be donning a befitting t-shirt and hat to match all day tomorrow :-). I will post pics of the awards and some of the pupils will also blog later after I deliver all the message from home so please keep positing!!
A few pics from today following to enjoy whilst Mrs Giersh and I find some after sun for our thermo nuclear tanned faces (the kids were much better with the sun protection than us!!)
KC (and the sun tan skiing band!!)
