How hard can it possibly be? Today’s challenge is to ski 30 metres on the flat part of the nursery slope. The problem? It’s 30 metres of water. Every March we have an event called the Pool Race. A 30 metre pool is dug and filled with water, and skiers and snowboarders can try to cross the pool. Speed is the essence.

The water is about a metre deep and it’s absolutely freezing. If the weather’s good it’s a really popular event, and the Figeller bar on the nursery slope does a roaring trade.

This afternoon Aminaa was back making more brownies, and I made a Thai curry.
