Welcome to Ski Notley

This might ramble a bit as it’s late (again!) and my brain has turned into something approaching Swiss Cheese.

Another great day’s skiing in Zauchensee today with bright sunshine in the morning despite the forecast of -15. Many people wore an extra layer. And melted.

Group X (where X is a variable from 1 to 3) skied all around the mountain on every different type of terrain but especially the powder field behind the Music Bar. That was completely awesometastic (I insist this is a real word). Really deep and fresh with sparkly bits coming off the trees like a cut scene from Twilight. Even a certain member of staff not known for his love of off-piste thoroughly enjoyed it. Just don’t tell anyone or I’ll have to do more of it next year!

Day 4 and it was Ski Notley’s Fancy Dress Day – which obviously means “chuck down the white stuff” to whoever controls the weather round here. 

Looking out the window this morning was a slightly depressing experience since snow was bucketing down. We had visions of a repeat of last year where Sander the Snow Wizard stood in a howling blizzard conducting the weather whilst three penguins huddled in a group to shelter from the storm.

However how different can two apparently similar days be?
