Our fourth ski lesson was at Avoriaz, France, but we also took a lift across the border to ski a bit in Switzerland in the afternoon. My enthusiasm toward skiing continues to grow...I can't wait for next week, and I really can't wait for a full week of skiing in Italy the first week of March - a nice way to spend my b-day (Derek has a conference). In the morning there was a nice view of some of the nice teethy-looking Alps (above). It started precipitating around lunch time which made for low visibility and interesting "unsee-able" moguls and cliff edges. Looking through my goggles below (looking down-hill or up in the sky?). Whiteness everywhere.
Lesson 4a: Snow is white, so is the sky when it is snowing, and so are the ski slopes. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between them, but then your legs learn to absorb whatever is below them.
Lesson 4b: A day of skiing should be followed by an apéritif.
Lesson 4c: Be ready for testing next week...the final lesson for the season.
