Tuesday - POWDER DAAAAAAYYYY!!!
JB - Two foot of snow on the pistes overnight and dumping hard all day, in a ski resort where a wrong turn at the top of the mountain will see you end up in a different country. It's everyone for themselves on a day like this...

3rd day on the slopes, woke up feeling ready to go. It had been snowing the night before so we had fresh snow, it was quite hard to walk in and about a foot deep. I jumped on the lifts and went to the top of the slope and boarded all the way down, it felt great.....like i was gliding in the air, not so great when i stopped and sunk into the foot deep snow. It was very funny trying to get out. i can now link my turns thanks to the great instructor we've had, its interesting to watch how he coaches in comparison to the way we do as sports students ourselves i cant wait to jump up a gear onto the blue slopes. My confidence is sky high,yet again cant wait until tomorrow.

MJ - 2nd day was great, really had the linking turns in the locker which made life a lot easier but meant i was going faster when i fell. I met the intermediate instructor who was way better than the first one.

The 3rd day was amazing it had snowed throughout the night and and continued to all day which meant there was fresh powder and deep snow which was loads of fun, it kind of gave me butterflies and when i crashed I just sank in to the snow with a mouthful of snow haha. John took me up les Grandes Montets, we went up to 2987m which is nearly 9000 feet and hit a good few blues and red runs, had a few deeeecent wipe outs lol hit a big drop without seeing it until I was in the air flapping it was awesome...
MB - today I had a lay in to recover from the two hard days before and it felt great. My new instructor advised me to change my board for a bigger one which I did in the morning. Made my way to the slopes with special k (Kayleigh) I named her after French cornflakes lol. Got to the slopes looking forward to my lesson with my fantastic new instructor, had lesson in fluffy snow which was cool dude. I mastered linking turns without falling from the top of the slope to bottom which felt very satisfying. It must have been the new board! As we were leaving the slopes me, MJ and special K had a big snow fight in the deep snow which was a great way to end the day with my pals.

Quote of the day (try and guess who from): “Shuddup! Waddya mean? My armpits ain't that furry!”
Quote of the Day (no2), from MB while wandering through the main square in Chamonix: “Whoever owns this ranch is making absolute paper”

JB – They're still going great guns despite the tiredness and the bruises (and a phenomenal ability to coat every possible surface or fabric with Lynx anti-perspirant). Many people take five or six trips to Europe and never get to ski on snow like this, and they're making the absolute most of it. However the spirit of international experimentation is finally wearing thin amongst the students; tonight's food vote is for a Happy Meal at the newly opened Chamonix Macdonalds... Le Big Mac, anybody?
