Finally! We've found a way to slow the "unstoppable Dana"! Make her follow us down through the trees in deep powder snow on her short, skinny piste skis!! I know its unfair...but it's all about "survival of the fittest!" And that is surely not Graeme and I, when compared to Dana! I suspect that she may have even broken a sweat for the first time! Even more astonishing was her admission of tired legs at the end of the afternoon! Welcome to our world...Dana!!
Our incredible luck with the snow continues. Just as we really began to believe that spring had arrived, it started to snow again! The snow continued pretty much all day and while the visibility was poor, with a season's skiing under our belts we can always find sheltered tree runs.
3/ Andrew, Rick & Graeme!
We returned to Le Refuge for lunch after an awesome morning playing in the powder. I'm not sure whether Dana would describe her morning in quite those terms!
After lunch we met up with Rick and his very "popular" friend. I say popular, because Andrew is the MD of Bolle in Europe and Rick and all his friends including Graeme have benefited from some very well priced sunglasses and goggles thanks to Andrew.
Skiing to stumps we were rewarded with some late afternoon sunshine to match the pristine powder runs! Amazing!!
Tonight we tried eating on the Slovakian timetable. Even though it was only 5 o'clock, as soon as I was in the door, I started to prepare dinner. I must agree that Dana might actually be on to something with this early eating idea. No snacking on junk food and plenty of time for the system to digest before heading to bed. Which I must admit was about 9 o'clock for us all. Even the mighty Dana was keen to "hit the hay"!
