Italy Ski Trip Day 5

Well, it's still snowing here in. Italy, but we've all managed to get out skiing this morning, practising our slalom technique in between cones. We went out for a pizza last night, which was very nice, and are having our ski presentation evening tonight before a final day on the slopes tomorrow. We hope to be back at Tir Morfa between 2.30 and 3pm on Sunday but will text parents if that changes.

Italy Ski Trip Day 4

Ciao from Prato Nevoso where it's still snowing! The picture of the cars outside the hotel should give an indication of the amount of snow we've had, and there's no sign of it letting up. This has made it difficult to ski, and only really competent skiers have gone out this morning. The rest have had a frolic in the snow making snow angels and are now playing the world famous 'Change Game' with Mrs. B.
In the evenings we've been taking part in a variety of activities; swimming in the hotel pool, tubing on big tyres down a ski slope, playing pool and table football and watching football on the TV. Everyone is looking forward to watching Wales beat England in rugby on Friday night and then watch Everton beat Liverpool in football on Saturday evening. Hope all is well back at base.
Arrivederci

Italy Ski Trip Day 3

Greetings from Prato Nevoso. I.t started snowing here at 2pm yesterday and as yet hasn't stopped. The forecast is for further heavy snow through into tomorrow. This has made skiing difficult this morning and everyone is looking forward to lunch. Which brings us on to the theme of food. As requested by Dosbartn Celyn, we've included some photos of Italian food. The day starts with a buffet breakfast (photo attached) with eggs, cold meats, croissants etc., but also with lots of cake, pastries and tarts. Yum! We have a 2 course lunch which involves Antipasti; a selection of fresh vegetables and salad (photo attached) and then a main course of pasta or meat. At dinner we agin start with antipasti, then have Alastair course (last nights pesto dish is attached as a photo) and then a meat or fish course (chicken last night) and then finish with a sweet (ice cream last night). Hopefully all the extra calories are burnt off on the slopes. Will check back in tomorrow when the theme will be evening activities.
Ciao!
