More adventures

We had another adventure this morning. When we got to the bottom of the hill and looked up to find Grant, we saw a blob and a line that wasn't moving. We saw someone stop to give assistance, the line moved, but the blob remained. Jack was sent up to investigate, he had the phone. Once he arrived at the scene I got a call to say that Grant's ski binding had released and they were having trouble putting it back together with his mono. So I headed up to help. But by the time I arrived Jack had applied those great problem solving skills and saved the day; Grant was back in one piece. After lunch the boys headed over to investigate the tubing, which they loved, while Grant and I had a lovely afternoon together exploring some new territory. At the end of the afternoon we all met at the disabled skiers base, Grant's mono had arrived from Denver. It will be attached to the seat and have adjustments made first thing tomorrow. We also did a wee spot of shopping, got Tim some new ski pants for a bargain price and found a stand with ski helmet coverings, Tim fell in love with the racon. On the way back to our ski locker we stopped to toast some mashmellows. A busy day all round. Just two days to go and sunny skies are forecast. Back continues to improve, still tweaking a bit.

You are certainly having a good variety of adventure!
Exciting for Grant to have the new mono arrive. We presume you will be having a trial go with it tomorrow.
The raccon helmet cover looks great Tim
Good to know that your back is holding on Nicky.
Jack you seem to be the real handyman of the team. What an asset to have.
The tubers seem to be wearing non-ski boots? Special for the job?
Make the most of your last few days- we are keeping things warm for you back here!
Take jfcare, and love to you all
