I woke up before Errol and peeked out the window to see what the day was like
The snow that had been falling overnight had kept falling and it was beautiful, stunning, exquisite etc. etc !!
I went back to bed and then when our alarm went off I told Errol I had something to show him and made him close his eyes
I pulled the curtains back and said that he could open them up ... and he was as blown away as I was !!

We got dressed for breakfast and ran around outside taking photos and just enjoyed the beauty of the crisp morning
Everyone was buzzing at breakfast and couldn’t wait to get outside

The Ski Room
six photos

Errol and I did some more boarding ... it was a bit harder to board in all the snow but once we got used to the snow it was great ... and didn’t hurt as much when we fell down !!
I finally got on my toe side too and was really feeling good

Then it was in for lunch before our big afternoon of boarding

Today was the day we were hitting the big slope as a group and I was not looking forward to it
I got cranky at everyone who kept saying you will be fine and its easy ... I was really quite freaked out !!
Anyway, I did it !!
Michelle came up the gondola but didn’t come down with us ... she wasn’t very confident on the board or the skiis
Jane came too but didn’t board ... she had got some snow shoes and poles and walked down with us ... it was a great idea and she had a lot of fun
The first corner was very scary and it was quite a thin run at the start with a big drop but the snow was soft and I did a lot of it on my butt !!
When the run got wider we mucked around crashing into walls of snow on purpose leaving our full body prints deep in the snow
At the very last part of the run I followed Erin into some powder and got well and truly stuck ... it was so soft that I couldn’t get up without slipping but it was fun and I felt like I was in a cloud !!

I was exhausted after such a big day

The evening/dinner theme was "All Black" but I couldn’t be bothered and it was jeans and a top for me !!
The show that night was 'Magic' and it was fun

Then they put on a special show on in the disco
The staff acted out "52 Movies in 20 Minutes" ... they did such a great job and it was very, very funny !!
Ben was the star of the show again after being in the magic show too

I had sore knees from boarding down the big mountain and spent an hour in the onsen on my own switching between the hot and cold bath and I had a lovely time

Didn't sleep too well tonight and I can't work out why ... might have been nightmares------
