Hi All

Today was a snowy, cold icy day, just like home!  The pressure was on to last the longest on the hill!!  We had a slalom course set today, they all skied very well, this was tough icy cold conditions.  They had plenty quality training runs in difficult snow.  We finished a little early today and had lunch in the chalet, lunch was coq au van, fish, peas, macaroni cheese and all the usual cheeses and salads.  Melon and Grapefruit cut up ready to eat.  The french children do eat well, a very varied diet that always includes fruit, salad & cheeses.  Trying to encourage the children to try food other than the macaroni cheese!! 

As I write the blog Ally's group have just finished servicing their skis and playing frisbe in the snow, Andy's group are doing video analysis and Lynn's group have serviced skis and done fitness in the snow.  We are expecting a powder day tommorrow possibly, in our GS Skis.  The kids are behaving really well, no kidding!  Good manners, doing as we ask and generally no issues, I may speak to soon!!  Lot's of laughs also, good humour and genuine support for each other.

Tonight we are aiming for an early night after dinner as a few tired kids in the mornings.  A bit of competition going on for the most tidy room, Owen, Robert, Alasdair and Scott winning so far!!!  

More blog from the coaches later tonight so check back in.
