Steve's back was MUCH better in the cold - this is the first thing he has done outside the apartment since he hurt his back on Saturday night. He was contemplating doing skiing, until Nikki reminded him his mum (also his physio) would not approve.
Both girls had a great time - Hannah was able to Taboggan & Jacqui was able to Ski (although her joints, especially her knees really hurt due to her Lyme Disease).
Hannah is MUCH better in the cold (it was -3c). She had a great time, although we are a bit worried about how tired she will be after all her fun. We wish we had something like this in Canberra - it would be a fun rehab centre (well more fun than the hospital gym).
Jacqui is actually a really good skier - she hasn't skied for ages, but she quickly got up to speed.
Nikki had a one on one private lesson (for FREE) for an hour. It was SO much fun. She can now stop, turn, use the magic carpet ("a whole new world") slow down & was starting to learn go parallel ski. Jacqui took her on the tow bar thingy halfway up the centre & she skied down from that as well. After being sick for so long, I never thought this would ever be possible, so it was wonderful.
An added bonus for the night is that it didn't cost us much at all. The Centre had its snow grooming machine break down (& then towed out of the snow), which meant that half the centre was closed. The lesson, ski hire, taboggan's, & "lift passes" cost us less than our dinner - three hours of skiing, tabogganing and a lesson - great value. We could have stayed longer, but we were getting really tired.
