Ed, Ruby, Joe and Marianne on the ski slopes. This was Joe and Ruby's first go at skiing and they picked it up really well and had an absolute ball, making the most of their lift ticket and skiing all day! It really was a wonderful stay up on the mountain with Marianne and Ed, Ireen and the young ones. I love the snow. I did a fair bit of skiing in my twenties and would love to get back out there but for this trip I contented myself with a try at snow shoeing - it was fun. :)
