Skiing in Porridge

After a promising amount of snow early last week, it rained on Friday and Saturday. The result was thick, horrible, sticky and heavy snow which was a bear to ski on. The kids bravely soldiered on but it was hard work. I was trying out new skis and my third turn of the day had me in a snow bank flat on my face. After a few more runs, we'd had enough, called it quits and came in early for a hot drink and snack.
