A Day Away!

Today, we went skiing at Worsley, Alberta. It's not the Swiss Alps, as one student from Switzerland said, but I think everyone had a very good time. Some of the students skied and some snowboarded, but all of the students came in with high colour in their cheeks after a day on the hill.

I spent the day in the chalet, chatting with people as they came in for a rest and reading a book. I'd say it was more of a day of apres-ski, for me. I'm still recovering from the tobogganing incident back in November!

The fresh air was exhilarating and the during the drive, we saw many moose and deer and one wolf that dashed across the road in front of the bus. For the students, seeing wildlife is always a thrill.

It was lots of fun today, but judging from the number of tumbles those students took, especially the snowboarders, I think that when they go to get up in the morning, there will be some moans over the aching muscles.

I'm glad I sat this one out!
