I woke early to the sound of the snow plows heading up the mountain - what a perfect alarm clock at a ski resort. After a hearty breakfast and purchasing a bright pink crash helmet we headed up the mountain for a full day skiing. We paid for ski lessons in the morning and then used the expertise of the mountain hosts in the afternoon. All these guys (and girls) are awesome and so knowledgeable.

We skied all over the mountain on green to black runs, in and out of the trees, on runs with hardly anyone else in sight - bliss, just bliss. In the afternoon it started snowing again but that just made the skiing even more of an adventure.

At the end of the day, is was a novelty, to ski to the door of our resort, unclip our skis and head inside. I love the convenience of ski-in/ski-out and being able to watch my friends ski straight past our accommodation – and stop to allow us to take goofy reindeer photos!

This place is perfect for everyone – there are singles, families, couples, older couples, locals…a real mix.

In the evening we decided to try ‘tubing’ – what a hoot!  Flying down a mountain attached to three friends in an inner tub screaming my head off was so much funnnn!!!

But in -17 degrees with a -11 degree wind chill…it was cold!  There was also ice hockey and ice skating on offer as well.  This place is AWESOME!
