Skiing at Turoa



We purchased a rocket pass which claimed that it would take us from the beginner stage and rocket us to the top of the mountain!  Not quite.  The first day we had lessons on the nursery slopes, as you can see, Tom was not impressed with the two hour lesson! We also enjoyed the magic carpet, which was a lethal carpet lift and it was entertaining watching many people being thrown all over the place!  The second day, Mummy and Alex disappeared onto the mountain whilst me and the boys suffered another day on the nursery slopes.  On the third day we all had lessons on the next level and then ventured to the top ourselves.  Unfortunately we had to find our way back down a blue run and had an interesting experience of where Tom refused to stand up and Fran had to somehow get him down between her skis.  Fortunately, Alex and Oli had got the hang of turning and coped well with the step  slope.  At one point, Tom rolled down the run like a sausage, it was a sight to behold - an orange and blue spaceman rolling down a slope.  So we did get to top but not really convinced we rocketed there?
