Today was absolutely fantastic. I love it!

Caroline and I went up to do the Saint Jacques run first thing this morning and I made it down the first steep bit on skiis which was already an improvement on yesterday. Then a guy on a skidoo came up to tell us that they needed to close the run to do controlled avalanches. Well if anything was going to get me down the mountain fast it was the thought of an avalanche, so I was off, at speed, turning like a pro and made it down the mountain in five minutes!

I couldn't believe it! What a difference to yesterday. Again! Again!

We did a different run next time - turning right off the top of the lift - and the boys caught up with us half way down. Then we all did it another time together and twice after lunch. I've still been falling a lot but I have such a difference in confidence and understand the principles that I now feel like anything is possible. Bring on the black runs!

Can't wait to get out there tomorrow. The sun came out at lunch time today and the mountains look beautiful under the blue sky.

It's the chalet host's night off tonight so we are off out for a meal and then off to the Crazy Fox pub for some karaoke!
