Bradley’s Snow Trip – Thursday 19th

These are my entries from Facebook for those that aren’t my “friends”:

11:30  Again the alarms didn’t wake me up so Mr. Connell had to at 6:55 again. Had breakfast of sausages, french toast and a banana. Only a few of us got our gear on due to conditions this morning. Wind speeds of 100km/h had stopped all the lifts but two. We waited and waited for Falls express to open, then retreated back to the lodge and buried Shannon in snow.

Talked to the teachers about going to the summit but they rejected it due to safety concerns. Went inside to see half the lodge going to the village and half staying behind to clean the sticky plastic strips the teachers used to identify us on the mountain off our helmets. It was sticky as hell and took a long time to… get it off. As i was doing that i had some more noodles… ?

…Halfway through cleaning my helmet the rest of us got dressed into warm clothes and left the lodge too. We waited at the shuttle bus stop and it took 3 turns for us all to get there. Once there i met up with Shannon, Josh, Moses, Harry, Pat and we all went down the gullty chairlift to a shop. A little MILO kid who w…as going up on the other side asked us why we were going down, all i could say was ‘i dont know’…

?…After finding some Pete the snowdragon slippers for 15 bucks which were too small we went back up and paid out the skiers falling down on the run beneath us, and there were a lot of them. After surviving a snowball ambush at the top of the lift our group met up with Kettle, Richo, Beth, Jevan and Jordan and had a ma…ssive tackling and snowb all fight on top of a small snowy ridge…

?…It was fun tumbling and sliding down the ledge, but after a while it was time to go back to the lodge for lunch, where i found that someone had finished cleaning my helmet.

19:30  Lunch today was baguettes and after that we all had to make our way to the only available run, final muster and the only available lift, the gully. Both are terrible for skiing usually but today everyone was using them and they were crowded with beginners fallen over and the lift queue was crowded with those lucky enou…gh to survive it. Today for our lesson we had Neil instead of the usual Josef…

Lesson was good and skiing the run was ok, but i think we skied it around 10 times before returning to the lodge for the night. When I got there i had to hunt down ms constantopolous for my lift pass which she’d picked u from a shop which i’d dropped it at. Then i watched Tomb Raider with some other people until tea. For tea we had chicken parmageanas, potato bake, mashed pumpkin (I think) and beans…

?…I didn’t eat the beans and parme (because of intolerance). Instead i spent around 20 minutes measuring out tiny milk packs and hot water to mix with the pasta pack which took a long time to actually heat up and absorb it. I then sat in the movie room again and continued watching tomb raider with the others until the… meeting. The meeting discussed how we would be moving out tomorrow, and wasn’t too relevant to me

22:00   After the meeting we did some more planning of the prank and decided to can the idea of the ‘dead’ bodies out the window, and go with the plan of showing them around the room being heaps suss, then when we opened the door as if to pull the prank, someone would blast them with an airhorn. We then sat down to watch ‘Clash of the Titans’ and never pull the prank and lose inspection to the girls by 1 point
