Yesterday’s rain has gone, so today we can enjoy the pool race. Here’s how it works:

Dig a pool about 30 metres long at the bottom of a snow-covered slope. Competitors ski down the hill and try to surf across the pool. Simple. The catch is that the starting point on the hill is lowered a little each time, so crossing the pool gets more and more difficult.

A few pics.

Here’s Hannah.

And a short video.

As you can imagine the nursery slope is a bit of a mess after all this which is why we have the pool race at the end of the season. The whole village turns out to watch.
