Leena and I, keen to test ourselves further on the slopes of Cerro Castor, enlisted the assistance of campo padre Ross Bidmead to advise on and correct our skiing technique. I being happy at some speed but not with height and Leena with height but not speed made for some interesting challenges for both Ross as tutor and us as the trainees.
First up was the introduction green run from the top of Telesilla Cuadruple (chair lift 4) provided general comments of approval from Leena, who had not yet coasted its tree lined powder. Next on the list was a repeat of the previous with an excursion down a step section of the blue trail (14), which Leena handled with some capability but for myself I had to bail as a fear of heights combined with landing myself on a largish patch of steep ice forced a climb up to the top of the green.

Ali B continues: The group decided to take the easy option and eat in at the hostel restaurant. After waiting until 8pm when the restaurant opening, we trooped on down and had very attentive service as we were first to arrive for the “tourist” sitting. We enjoyed an excellent dinner and dessert for most, although the Tiramisu was disappointing. By 10pm, heads were nodding, so it was time for the check and off to bed. Me include. Bye for now.
