Nonstop run two morning buses, 8:30 and 9:30. Today was my first time on the latter, due to the fact i needed to find a knee brace in town before i could begin. Had such a good day today, mainly tuition in the morning (turns out i was really bad at pole planting!) but got some good first tracks on 'blueberry' early on too. Went up Polar Peak this afternoon which is the new lift to the highest peak. The 'Barely Legal' photo was the one we did, the runs off the top are mainly double black diamond due to the gradient and exposure, but the snow was soooo good and you could just glide down top to bottom on soft powder. We came down off Polar Peak and traversed and hiked across to 'Lone Fir' which is a chute off one of the ridges. It was pretty steep and lots of powder so you end up skiing through the sluff you knocked down the turn before which was really good fun. Those two runs are our instructors favourite on the whole mountain so turned out to be a pretty good combo!

Just had a really good evening meal followed by a technical lesson in ski servicing. Pretty beat after a long day (in bed for 9pm) but loving every minute!
