Today we went to the top. Took the gondola and skiid in some wonderful places. We filmed Finn for his GCSE project and Patrick wiped out a mogel field. There seems to be no stopping him. Having said all that I wiped out on a perfectly flat piece of snow in from of a queue of people getting on a chair lift. I lay there for a while as if dead not sure why it happened. I suppose I will never know. Perhaps it was the result of having had a satisfiying lunch. The sun seems yet again very strong but we are now all prepared each day with our lotion. Having had a great supper cooked by Trish Finn and I have settled down to watch 'Sean of the Dead' (as you do).

One other thing, today was Patrick's first taster of a T-Bar lift. I admit I havnt been on one for years and thought they were really an Austrian thing. We didnt fall off it but there were a few dodgy moments. This was at the Arcs 2000 Snow Park where Patrick has taken to the ski jumps.
