As the snow was Sierra cement in nature and it was threatening to rain I decided to stay with Ali and Sam on the first part of the plateau and try to teach Sam how to ski. She did a good job considering the snow conditions but in the end decided it was easier to walk down the hill. Ali also did a good job only coming to a halt when he hit a hidden rock &#8211; the contrast was poor. I am trying to relearn how to ski on my new skis which are very wide and also longer than I am use to. <\/p>\n<p>When I told mum we went skinning she thought I had mispelt skiing but no skinning is when you put skins on the bottom of your skis so you can go uphill  &#8211; as of course here we don&#8217;t have ski lifts. <\/p>\n<p>Dinner was Saturday night at Carse house cooked by Ruth and Maureen. A splendid feast with delicious profitta rolls for dessert. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 9:00am there was a knock on my door &#8211; Rob was outside dressed for skiing and wanted to know if I was coming.
