Lazed around the hotel for the afternoon before heading out the Coronet Peak for some night skiing. It was great, absolutley great, breifly met up with Mim and her crew before hitting the slopes with James and Emma. Unfortunately they were pretty sore and headed back on the 7pm bus. Unable to find the others I bean running the mountain on my own and it was great. Did some basic work on the learner slope, and then managed decided to try a short blue run. Coupla stacks later I made it to the bottom, once I got a taste for a steeper better run there was no going back.

Once comfortable with the little blue run, I went to the top of the mountain… alone. It was a tough run a realy long intermediate blue run. I did it slowly carefully avoiding the open edge running into the unlit black runs. Made it down with only a few issues and one massive slide over an icy section where I could get any grip. Otherwise a very rewarding run and am very happy I managed to give it ago.

As my bus left after the others I caught them at the bottom and saw them off the mountain. Had a chat to the outdoor DJ before finishing with a few more runs and as my last bus was due, jumped on and headed home, felt very tired at this point.

Got back and found Franger to be unwell, watched a few movies, ate a massive tub of strawberry yogurt then went to bed.
