Powder Day!! After a 6 inch dump of beautiful powder (up to a foot on the upper slopes) we were exposed to a whole new ball game – conditions that tested our technique to the limit. Awesome dude!!
In true Guthlaxton tradition our ‘brave’ warriors
threw caution to the wind and made superb progress.Visibility was restricted but this did not deter us in our quest for that ultimate experience.

Lactic acid levels were approaching the limit as we mingled drinking our chocolate at the post skiing social on the slopes. We exchanged our experiences with a mixture of glee and sorrow – none more so than Sunil who missed the chair lift by several feet and looked on forlornly as it sped his skiing buddies away to the top!

Mr Coles wore the pants of shame with pride looking his usual dapper self throughout the day.

Just about to have dinner before going to an ice hockey match – no doubt it will be another experience not to be forgotten.
Students are handling themselves admirably – even Kirsty Jones who is demonstrating her plumbing ability by clearing the toilet for her friends – a a case of unblocking the blocked bog blog!

One day to go and all still in one piece. Friday promises to be the best day of all – some want to stay – any takers??

Signing off from the louder, powder, chowder!

The Wobbler
