Breakfast at our hotel.

Taking a look outside from our hotel this morning. Not nearly as nice weather as the day before!

We had a very early lunch as our ski lesson was scheduled from midday to 2pm. This is the "Alpermagronen" at the restaurant next to the training slopes. It wasn't great, but it stopped me being hungry while we were having our lesson.

The weather took a turn for the worse as our lesson approached, and it looked a bit blizzardy out there.

Lots of kids having ski lessons today. One group was being instructed by somebody dressed in a rabbit outfit.

That's our ski instructor, helping Chie to get her skis on.

The only photo I have of me in my skiing attire. Given how unsuccessful the lesson was for me this is possibly the only photo ever of me in skiing attire.

Erika on the other hand looked much more comfortable.

Once the official ski lesson had finished, Chie and Erika wanted to keep there skis on and practice a bit longer. I on the other hand couldn't want to get shot of all the clobber and have a beer at the bar instead.

Chie and Erika still persisting with the skiing despite the inclement weather.

Erika having a go with poles and looking like an expert already.

We all had a break for a bit in the cafe, for a drink and a few rounds of Blackjack.

...and then impressively Chie and Erika went back out to practice skiing a bit more.

In on the other hand decided to head back to the hotel. I managed to slip on the ice while taking either this picture or the next one, and ended up in a surprising amount of pain - I think I bruised a rib or something.

Heading back through Tannenboden.

Near our hotel I think.

Back at the hotel room, I attempted to use snow to chill a bottle of ESW.

Despite leaving it outside in the snow for nearly an hour it wasn't actually particularly well chilled - this method doesn't seem to work very well.

Heading to dinner.

Restaurant Tannenboden, where we went for dinner.

Me and Erika at dinner. The food wasn't particularly great, but it had the benefit of being very close to our hotel.
