DAY SEVEN

Ryan Lewis and Victor Seibert (with help from the editors)

Today was our first day on the mountain. With over 30 inches of recent snowfall, we stepped out of our condos straight onto the well-covered and nicely groomed slopes. After skiing in one large group, the teachers assessed our ability levels and put us in groups or sent us off to get lessons. The lessons were excellent – we had the instructors practically to ourselves. After a couple of hours, everyone was skiing! Some from the top of the mountain, others on the bunny hill – but everyone was sliding and turning.

We all gathered in the base lodge for a hearty, if not healthy, lunch (refer to Mr. Raebeck’s earlier email), then headed back onto the slopes for the afternoon. Many aches and pains, not to mention moans and groans, at dinnertime, but Ms. DelGiorno’s incredible chicken and cheese quesadillas, served with a side of rice and beans, provided much needed comfort.

We capped off the day with a dunk in the hot tub and swim in the pool, both located in the Jackson Gore area, a short ride from our condos at Kettlebrook. Now it’s off to bed to rest up for tomorrow.
