Day 12 26th September 2010 Cardrona Ski fields

Today started with daylight saving pushing the clock forward one hour so 8am is now 9am. Less sleep again sadly, as we really haven’t moved to NZ time. 

The girls spent the day in lessons with other kids, they progressed rapidly as they can now ski one of the Cardrona’s mountain runs. Melissa is now in the more advanced group skiing down the mountain, and Cos is learning how to turn and more importantly stop.  We all feel very sore and tired but satisfied with our progress.

At 4pm the field closes, and the horde of skiers leave the mountain. For us it is quiet time to build a snowman (Christopher) and the girls to toboggan down the beginner slopes. There is one problem, finding a way to stop without crashing.
