Today we totally mastered the mountain so our work here for Australia is done. We started cautiously again on the beginner slopes but then got a bit more adventurous. The slopes here are colour coded with the green being the easiest, the blue are much harder and the black diamonds are only for the expert skiers. We're pretty good on the greens and we had to manouvre a few blues to get where we wanted to go. An accomplishment today was making it all the way down the mountain and skiiing across the bridge which leads you into the township area where all the bars and shops are. So we mastered the mountain.

For a celebratory dinner we headed into Vale Village on the bus and went to a nice Mexican place called Los Amigos. The food, the beer and the Margheritas were excellent so a good night was had by all.
