Day two

The day began with some tired faces after an intense day 1 of skiing. Weather conditions today have been challenging with snow falling heavily all day. The groups have moved up the mountain to longer runs with flat light resulting in lots of tumbles. The two groups have seen movements in personel this afternoon with Billie, Phoebe and Eloise moving into the top group. Myself and Mr Cross having skied with both groups and seen huge improvement in just two days. The highlight today was Theo taking out a very young lady going the opposite way on the piste, Sian face planting having fallen off the ski lift seconds before she should have got off the lift and Jack battling the slippery stuff again and again and again. 

The Zillertal area is a beautiful region with stunning mountains which seem to go on for ever and ever. I have had the opportunity to ski in many ski resorts across the world and I have to say this part of Austria has captured my imagination with its light and chocolate box houses. Where we are skiing is blessed with excellent pistes which are wide and plentiful enabling everyone to find a piece of snow to slip slide down and christen their own. 

Tomorrow will see yet more testing conditions with a heavy storm coming in with high winds and lots more snow. That should blow through to leave at least another metre of the White stuff for us to ski across other parts of the mountain.

Thanks for all the comments and enjoys the cheesy pictures of the new TWONK Miss Sian Keogh.
