a great week and some rain

First of all, the 'head-plant graphically caught on film' needs to be emailed to me. Please. And Mum in moguls is a difficult mental image to imagine!

I've been busybusy so havn't had the chance to post for a while. I had a really great group for the last week - adult beginners (boss gave me a well-deserved break from kids). They were all from England and went from never-skiied-before to happily skiing blue runs on the glacier at the end. They were a really great group, we got along great, and they all really improved. I will miss them when I'm back on Esprit! More adult beginners today and tomorrow - big company group (VIP by ski school standard) from South Africa who are skiing for only 2 days. Bit tricky - we've been told to take them up the glacier tomorrow, on only day 2, so we'll see what happens. They were a lot of fun and were definitely the most cheerful people I've ever seen skiing slush in the rain. I guess it's all relative. They had no fear careening down the hill (unusual for beginners) so they picked everything up pretty quickly. (And discussing the Super 14 with them felt really out of place here!)

One more week living on the Maiskogel and then back down to the village. I've actually gotten used to being up there now. But the weather keeps getting warmer - the Kinderland has moved up to the glacier and everything lower down is slowly shutting. Soon no more ski-in/ski-out for us :( Tom has been really busy in the rental cellar, but I think they really like him there since they keep calling him in.

Love always
Amanda
