FRIDAY 30TH

With the snow building considerably in resort we will now be departing 3 hours earlier. This will facilitate the journey giving the drivers greater time to make the descent out of resort.

It is predicted that we we return to school earlier than planned although it is difficult to predict this exactly until we are on route. We will be asking students to contact home when we have a better idea of the estimated time of arrival.

To add to this previous message, these photos of the last two days show the level of snow that arrived in one huge storm. However, they fail to really portray the combination of the very cold temperatures accompanied by very strong and biting winds. The whole party did exceptionally well to cope with this. In fact, it is worth comparing this first shot taken on day 3 with those taken on Thursday and Friday...in the final photo the shapes behind are several cars!

(Another couple of posts will be added tomorrow with extra photos...keep looking.)
