Day two on snow

Well, after two days off from training we headed up onto the slopes at Northstar today.

But Thursday was our first 'free' day so the five of us in my condo drove down to south lake tahoe to give Heavenly a try. Another glorious day with blue sky and sunshine! It wasn't cheap but it was fantastic! Only one run open really but very well kept and no bare spots and world class views! Paul and I stayed back in our place in the keys. Everyone else went back to kings beach.
We all got up early for orientation ( hence the stay in south lake for us ) at the embassy suites. Loads of HR forms and collection of our new uniforms and locker assignments. And the drive back north was past the most beautiful sunset over the mountain and the lake.
Today was loads of work on our own ski technique, and I can now ski backwards, or 'switch' although not fast yet.

Loving the whole thing, skiing on beautiful scenery in sunshine, although it will need to snow properly soon or all the ski areas will suffer!
