The last day dawned clear and sunny. In fact the skies were probably clear for most of the night because the snow was frozen corduroy this morning. I went snowboarding again, although I didn’t join the lesson as I wanted to practice linking shorter turns at my own pace.
When I got it right it felt good and the horrendous scraping noise that the board was making on the icy surface lessened somewhat. When I got it wrong the noises were more ‘thud’ and ‘Ow !’, despite the padded shorts I was wearing.
After a couple of hours the slopes became crowded and the constant jarring had left me quite weary so I stopped for a quick coffee before boarding back to the chalet and then taking the snowboard back to the hire shop.
Then all that remained to do was pack and, finally, at 6pm, attend a 2 hour Child Protection workshop !
