Playing in the snow at St.Arnaud.


We had fun in the snow although we didn't get to go up to the ski field on this occasion.Our ski trip was postponed twice. When we did get to go we had a brilliant day despite the white out and semi blizzard conditions.
Just About Blind Skiing

On Monday, ….’skiing attempt number 3!!.....We first drove to the bottom Rainbow ski field carpark, we loaded up our bags onto the shuttle bus, the bus started and we drove off, all excited, up the muddy track.
There were lots of stunning views. But wait…when we got higher the views drifted away into fog.
We got to the top carpark and there were mounds of snow all over the place.
We jumped off the bus and crunched through the bright, white snow. Then we placed our bags under the café table. The café was warm.
We tramped down to get our boots and our skis ready to ski. We all had lessons, then e got free time to tray out our skiing. we had just trained for. I was having a last run on the beginners slope and I slipped over and whacked my head, it hurt, so I stopped and sat in the café and had a hot chocolate.
You wouldn’t think so, but you sweat up there. I really enjoyed myself. I would like to go again, but without the head whacking bit.
