It is a beautiful day

One of the down sides of travelling in a big ski group is that you have to share accommodation, we slept on bunk beds. Unlike last time I came prepared had brought earplugs, however the snoring sound was so loud that I had a hard time to fall asleep. Also the fact that my back was killing me wasn’t helping me. So I awoke early the next morning feeling totally exhausted. I had an early breakfast and took a couple of photos, the weather was absolutely gorgeous. What a change compared to the previous day.



I was so sleep deprived that I thought it was better to skip skiing with the group and head back to bed for a couple of hours. So when the other assembled to get their ski group assigned, I was back in bed. I tried to sleep for a couple of hours, but the weather and the sound of skiers outside was beckoning me to get out of bed and hit the slopes.



So around 11:15 am I put on my skies and went to the ski piste just outside the Rifugio. I skied towards Colfosco and then on to Corvara, there I did a couple of different runs, I even managed to get a few black ones in. I wanted to go to the Marmolada area, but by the time I figured out how to get there it was getting close to 2 pm and was not sure if I would make it back in time. So instead I had a lovely lunch, panino con salsiccia, enjoyed the sun for a while and skied the area around near Corvara for a while. Headed back around 4 pm and turned up at the Rifugio before everybody else, which was great because it meant I did not have to line up for the shower. By the time I was showered and dressed the rest of the group started to turn up. Dinner at seven as usual and early to bed, the next day we were heading to a different area.
