Snowboarders: Chris Parr, Callum Jackson, James Davidson, David Jarvis, Alex Harvey, Tom Granby, Stephen Corbett and last but not least, CHAD EDGSON!

Today started slow, we were all extremely tired from our first two days of snowboarding. Marko, our snowboarding instructor, had pushed us hard in training and has us going off the nursery slopes and onto the main slope tomorrow.

We have managed to get our heads around the basics of snowboarding and are starting to get onto advanced moves. This includes 'Back side edge' and 'Front side edge' which are both used for turning and stopping, 'Boardslides' and '50:50s' which are grinds which we performed on ramps to do tricks. After three days of practise, Callum cannot still do this. Instead he takes major falls which are hillarious.

After a collision between Alex Harvey, and Stephen Corbett, who crashed into Alex by not back side edge stopping properly, Alex was sent to some Austrian Hospital with a break in his wrist. Even with this unfortunate accident for Alex, he will hopefully be back on the main slope tomorrow.

Our snowboarding instructor 'Marko' is the best instructor we could of asked for, he is always up for a laugh with us but is also extremely serious about increasing our snowboarding abilities at the same time. We gave Marko a surprise today by presenting him with two 'ham sarnies', made by Alex, he was very grateful and gave us all a big hug. Another thing we enjoy doing with Marko is our morning warm up, which includes a variety of stretches by acting out a normal day scenario such as brushing our teeth and surfing in Hawaii of course.
