We had our 4th lesson today so after breakfast we did the long hike again to the ski school starting point. The walk wouldn't be that long in normal shoes but in ski boots, whilst carrying the skis and sticks it's very arduous! We did experiment the previous day with putting our ski boots on once we got there but they were so difficult / painful to put on in the cold (apparently you should only ever put them on at the hotel where they are warm) so that was the end of that idea!

Rianne and Kate were in the 'slow beginner' group today, Jeroen was in the 'fast beginner' group and Calvin was in level 1. The lessons went from 9:15 - 12:00. We all felt quite positive about our improvements after the lessons. Kate and Rianne had a different teacher (Christophe) and they thought he was much better which helped their confidence. Usually we have to do the long walk back to the accomodation after the lessons but today we all felt confident enough to take the green slope which goes right outside our house. It was pretty scary for Kate and Rianne but they did it!

For lunch we had home made pancakes with mushrooms and broccoli. Then Kate, Calvin and Jeroen went out skiing again while Rianne rested. They all went on another green slope - Kate was petrified! There were tears but she did only fall once though!

After the stress of the green slope, Kate and Rianne practiced their skiing on the gentle slope outside their house while Calvin and Jeroen went on some green and blue slopes.

We then came home for a nap / relaxing / rest our sore shins! Calvin and Kate then went for a wander into the main town, Calvin got his hair cut and then we stopped at the patisserie to get a vanilla flan for a pre-dinner snack. It was so nice to walk in shoes rather than ski boots! When we got home, Jeroen and Rianne had prepared dinner - cheese fondue with bread and salad. It was delicious!

After dinner, Jeroen and Rianne had their turn of wandering into the town to find some dessert.
