This was our last full day of skiing and as we made our way down off the plateau we began to encounter more trees and people skiing with the cutest outfitted dogs. After days of just white in the background, I found myself getting excited at the sight of each new tree line.🌲
Day 6 was my least favourite day as I discovered that I definitely preferred skiing uphill, however gruelling that could be, to skiing downhill and doing so with a sledge. The really steep hills with virgin snow turned out to be easier to manoeuvre on compared to the little hills and bends on tracked slopes, which were becoming more prevalent as we were returning to civilisation. In the end I just took my ski’s off and hauled my sledge downhill until we reached a bit I could just ski to.
As the day went on I found myself struggling to keep my energy levels up and just couldn’t summon the strength to get my legs going as I’d been able to before. When we got to our campsite I quickly counted my snack bags and realised I hadn’t eaten enough. Next time, I’m definitely mixing in more savoury treats so I’ll be incentivised to eat and keep my energy levels up. As you can see from the pics… I had about 3 days of snacks leftover. 🙁
Leftover food 😳
We had an earlier start that usual the next morning so we were tucked in and ready for bed by 7:30pm! I don’t think I’ve been to bed that early since childhood. 😂
