Tuesday's Update

Another magnificant day at Mt Buller! How lucky can we get! A big thanks to all the dad's (Jason, Justin, Dean and Simon) for their terrific military organisation and direction in the drying and equipment room this morning!  We were all off to a terrific start after a filling breakfast, rehydrating session and clothing check.  We were early to our lessons and most of us enjoyed a couple of runs down Burke St to revisit our skills we learned yesterday before our first lesson at 10am.  Everyone took to the slopes as though it was their 20th day, not their 2nd.  All groups headed for lifts and by the end of the day, some groups had gone beyond Burke St to Baldy and even the Family Run!  There is some footage in the Google Photos link but none of them do justice to the amazing effort the boarders/skiers have put in and progress made over the last 48 hours.  We all cannot believe how much they have improved since first hitting the snow only a day ago.  More impressive than the skill improvement is the positivity and the drive that the snow trippers are exhibiting as they continue to face new challenges and push new boundaries.  The day was extended on the slopes by most after the last lesson and stayed until the sun set behind the summit.  What a way to finish the day!  Back to the lodge for a warm shower, lovely dinner and desert and terrific trivia night thanks to Justin! A well deserved rest is on the cards tonight.
