I have uploaded 4 photos to a photobucket album, it took just over an hour for the pictures. I will try to add more tonight and repost the link.

Breakfast is basically the same everyday, so there is plenty of opportunity to fill up before tackling the slopes. This morning, all the group went higher in search of snow. Mr Martindale's group experienced the 4 seater chair lift whilst the others used the 4 man cable car. It is still very hot and most of us are only wearing one or two layers with our ski trousers. However, snow is forecast for tomorrow! If it comes, it will be very welcome and should ease the queues at the lifts. Highlight of the day so far has to be Josh W-C attempting to become the first skier in space. He was last seen taking off over one of the jumps. We expect him to land before tea! The beginners are making great progress and it is difficult to believe they are the same children we saw on the slopes only 24 hours ago. Oliver S, Cameron and Remy have been perfecting their jump turns with Mr Britten's group. Faith, Ben W and Rohan have mastered the turn part, now they need to jump.
Lunch - Cheese and ham toastie, salad, bread. I know there is a french word for this, however after a conversation I had with an 8 year old girl this morning on the slope I am only fully aware of how pathetic my French is.
Mr Britten - Bonjour!
Girl - Are you English? (How did she know?)
Mr Britten - Vous anglais c'est tres bien!
Girl - Your French isn't!
We are setting out earlier this afternoon to get the best of the snow before it turns slushy. More updates later. Still all injury free! Long may it last.
Thanks again for all the messages. The children really enjoy hearing about events back home and seem amused by how many pets are sending best wishes.
