My season is now over. I had a very fast kid’s class for my last week, with ages between 6 and 10 years.. Seven year old Masie had the fastest slalom time in the ski school race, being two seconds faster than the winner of the top intermediate class. Well done Masie! I was assisted some of the time by Anne, a very competent skier, who helped when she got bored with skiing on her own. In the past I have praised private lessons over group lessons but Anne was a good example of someone who would have enjoyed skiing in the top group. She would have enjoyed the social side and may have found someone of a similar level to ski with after the class. We have had very hot weather all week, so the snow is very heavy by mid afternoon. If this weather holds it will be ideal for those of us who are leaving next week. It means that we will ski in the morning and chill out with a lazy lunch or beer in the afternoon sunshine. Amongst those leaving next week is Daniela and her Chef boyfriend Roland; they have both been excellent workers in the Palarine. I do hope that they both return next season. Daniela ended her snowboarding season on a high; she went to the Snow Park and landed a great leap over one of the jumps with a huge kicker. Some of my fellow workers have already left and a few will be leaving during this week, so I will have someone to chill out with before my flight back to the UK.
The resort will stay open until the 25 th of April but there will be no more British groups. The ski school is just keeping those who live here and are releasing the rest of us. This may be my last report unless I can think of something to write during my chill out period.
