Dear Parents,
Today was our first day in Saas Fee and we had a blast. The snow conditions were perfect. The weather was sunny with a light breeze. After skiing we rode down the train and the gondolas. We then had an hour to rest and change for dryland training. The dryland training was tennis. Everybody did so well! All in all today was a great day!
Fondly,

hey Parents.
We had another awsome day. The glacier was a little softer today but it was still really good skiing. After we skied we went on a hike up the mountain to a cafe for some ice cream. We also had our first video session. We all looked great. Tomorrow we are going to have our fist day in gates and hopefully will go see the maderhorn.

dear parents,
Today the weather was colder than the past few days. Due to technical difficulties the regular gondola was not running. The group had to HIKE to the Felskinn tram (quite a long way). Today we did a few drills in the morning and then trained gates in the afternoon. The snow was a bit soft and made the gate training tricky. Lunch was yummy today. Our rest hour was much needed. Following the rest hour we went swimming. After we all dryed off we had video from todays training. Overall it was a good day. We are all having a grand time.
