After being promised a better night's sleep, there was a wedding party directly below our room that lasted till 2am tonight. So strictly, they were correct, but 5 hours instead of 4 wasn't really an improvement. The snow was much better up at the Trapp Lodge, but Rob and I were energy zombies and didn't have much fun today. We had glide on the flats, which was great, but no oomph up the uphills. And two nights of shit sleep means that falls hurt, and picking yourself up again and giggling is not as easy. So we only made it as far as the big junction, and then went back along the slightly wobblier lower trail. After a couple of spectacular bails our snowploughs improved, and we both did a couple of good small downhills. But we needed energy we didn't have to enjoy today, and to really attempt these trails, we need to be taught how to gain some control. It was depressing watching people float by (there were some nasty comments from a couple of the college types that whizzed passed too), and all in all this was a depressing outing.
