Day 3
A very promising second day for the beginners, showing lots of potential with their snow plough turns. Having only one day's experience, they successfully completed a descent of a series of blue runs, much to everyone's amazement.

They can now use a variety of lifts, under the coaching of our amazing ski captain Sam. Weather conditions have been very kind to us, although much colder than yesterday. All the groups had their ski legs back, and ventured out further afield to explore the many pistes across the valley. Advanced skied all the way to Stuben and St Christoph, aquiring nicknames along the way. Bryony adopted the nickname "Queen Control" being the sensible skiier of the group, whilst Alex dubbed himself "Colonel Chaos", but was demoted to "Captain" by the rest of the group. Charlie became "Mini Me" and Ruaidhri was simply named "Crazy" due to his complete lack of fear and judgement.

Although exhausted, our spirits were lifted by a discovery of the famous chalet starring in the film 'Chalet Girl', set in St.Anton. Higher intermediates got some air time with some impressive stories about falls, crashes and supposed temperature testing.

Joe was embarrassed over breakfast and dinner as he celebrated his birthday with a very loud Dukies chorus of happy birthday mit cake.   Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow, but as Matron said, "I need a massage!"
