Messing around to see if I completely screwed the audio up or not. Seems to have come out on this one. I've been using a manual light or dark control on the video camera. It looks so much brighter when you're filming it because of the snow, but it came out awfully dark on the screen. My apologies. Hopefully get some better shots in the next three days. It's been sunny and cold here, cold being minus six celcius (not sure of the spelling on that). So beautiful days to ski, super fast snow. Really fun. Fell down yesterday and wrenched my left knee a little, sore but didn't swell, so i think it was a minor sprain or something like that. Can walk on it, just a little stiff. So just spending the day in front of the computer.
The photo of the ski instructor Bill Goodman, is the extremely generous person who has made my visit to Leysin possible. The two women in the ski school are Sandrine, in the black sweater, director of ski school, and Fabianne, the assistant director. For anyone who's worked at a ski area before you'll see that the ski room for employees is pretty small. But the up side is a season's pass only costs about two hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars. But, you've got to pay to rent your uniform.
