Much more promising start.

We had to drop smallest group member at ski school and so we listened to the announcements for parents. In English someone explained to the parents that she was not going anywhere, would be there for any problems all morning that the children were perfectly fine with them and to just give them the children, and enjoy a few hours off… The French version of the talk seemed to skip the 3 or 4 minutes of reassurance!

As we were out early we were some of the first people on the lifts, and had loads of fun in the 20cm of fresh powder snow. With a few incidents..

The cloud returned in the middle of the day so we ended up skiing in amongst layers of cloud including one lift which we were thinking had been a really bad idea until we came out of the top of the cloud right at the top of the lift.

Trouble is you have to ski back down through the cloud.

It brightened for the last few runs and we headed back to the resort. The Easter Bunny was out and about handing red and white pills to young children.

Which turned out to be VT branded m & ms. Apparently you are supposed to sing some traditional Easter Bunny song to be given these, but they widely waived this requirement for me.

If you wonder why the lift passes are so expensive at least we know where the promotional budget goes!
