Day three, still no bell, ate a little less food i think

Yes, as you can see, day three of our adventure (day two of skiing) was another beautiful day up on the slopes. After getting our confidence on the first day we had a bit of a run on the baby slopes before heading onwards and upwards to the higher slopes, and the top of a run called the rock garden. There was another baby slope up top which you see here, and here myself, Laura and Caroline began our next step lesson. We were put in the faster group, but after going only a wee way down the rock garden we decided to take it on our own as the instructor did not do things to our liking. Fred was an eager beaver and had done the run once before lunch, and on his third run down he escorted us ladies on our way. The snow was a mixture of mounds of slush and pretty icey stuff which didn't make for easy skiing, and so a few falls were had by all. Laura and Caroline thought one run was enough and so headed back to happy valley to enjoy a more relaxed skiing adventure, whereas i gave it one more go, and ended up one more time on my butt. That was enough for me - Fred had to wait about five minutes for me to have the guts to attempt the last narrow bit with all the blummin snowboarders coming around me. We all ended up back at happy valley by the last of the runs and managed to get some action shots in - see above.
This is me, Caroline and Laura posing with our skis as we headed in for the afternoon.
This is an attempt to show you the rock garden run, but unless i am with you to point it out (which i obviously am not) you won't know which bit it is - it's not the obvious bit on the left (although Fred did do that - I saw him, and bravo to him for it).

This is the crew posing with Bazzcakka, after which we headed a little way down the mountain to do some mordor shots - another piece of cinematic genius of course!!
And it wouldn't be my blog without a picture of the sunset when there's one to be had. Beautiful. xxxxx
