Saturday evening was spent at Helen and Rich's lodge where they cooked us a great tea consiting of pork, mustard, creme fraiche and a little cider! It was excellent. Myself and Rich then headed out to watch the New Zealand Warriors keep their NRL title hopes alive with a 17-16 win over Canberra. It was an excellent match, but we soon hurried home as we were up early this morning for boarding/skiing. The good news is that as of this evening (Sunday) none of us has any serious injuries...a few bruises but not much else. The weather was great, and we had a lesson each in the morning before meeting up for some narly powder dudes. Jen is up to level 4 (from 1-6, 6 being seriously good) and had a really good day, not falling over once apparently, although we can't confirm this as she's far too good for us mere mortals and tends to go on the (ever so slightly) harder runs... I started the day on level 2b but have been promoted to level 3 for tomorrow, it also seems I have finally mastered the toe-edge turn so I am starting to pick up a bit of speed, which in turns then leads me to forget how to turn but remember how to fall spectacularly. Rich has done really well on his first ever day on the slopes, and Helen has too, looking every bit the classes' demonstrater when she came down.

Having said all this here we are at 5 (ish) so knackered we're already talking about tea and bed...no beers tonight! The plan is to do another day tomorrow at Coronet Peak before hading to the Remarkables on Tuesday.
