The first night here saw high winds that knocked out the power for the whole day and into the evening. We had no heat in our chalets, no way to cook or heat food (no hot cocoa?!!!), and no lights once it turned dark. Despite these factors, the team took it all in stride, building large fires in our fireplaces, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, and reading to each other by headlamp as we huddled up in multiple layers of sweatshirts and blankets.
New Years Eve was spent eating a deluxe dinner put on by the ladies team, followed by a boisterous game of Charades.
Today we are doing our fourth day of double ski sessions. It is cold, but the tracks are perfect, the skies are blue and we are all in good health. Not much more to ask for . . . .
