Headed for the mountains to do some skiing , we got there nice and early to make a day of it. The slopes were quite busy but once we had a few practice runs to get the nack again, had a wicked time. Was different from mountains we have skiied on before as the slopes are on an active volanoe, which is quite scary. There were lots of different runs to choose from, we managed to get through all of them except a couple as they were closed off due to the volcanoe erupting a couple of days before, which caused a Lahar. Had two great days here, only a couple of tumbles lol and perfect weather conditions. We where supposed to stay for three days but on our last day the mountain was closed due to bad weather, and the gits would only give us a credit note, so spent the days freezing our butts off in the camper as we have broken our electric heater from using it too much lol, and watched movies in the lounge.
