Skiing at Glenshee
Had a fantastic weekend skiing at Glenshee, the photos say it all, perfect weather, blue sky and very cold as soon as you were out of the sun. Ellie was racing both days and finished all 4 runs which is an achievement in itself and is definitely getting quicker.

Courchevel 2016
Just back from a fabulous week in Courchevel with the Gordon Skiers. We had 11 mad ski racers and their accompanying parents. Started off with plenty of fresh powder. The Sunday was overcast and snowing so skied the lower mountain both on and off piste (mainly on the piste for me!). After that the weather gradually improved and the middle part of the week was fab with clear skies.
Tuesday saw an excursion right across the 3 valleys heading over to Meribel and then Les Menuires and up towards Val Thorens before heading back. Legs were exhausted on the way back.
The kids had a great time training on the Stad Courchevel in the afternoons with a mix of GS and slalom training.
Many thanks go to Gary and Wilma for all their support and guiding over the week. Great shame that young Ben broke his leg but am sure he will bounce back in no time.

Hockey Weekend
No skiing this weekend, all of Scotland's ski areas were closed apart from the Lecht and the conditions there were dreadful, a mixture of ice and frozen peat!! Never mind, we had hockey instead.
The weekend started with Ellie playing in goal for Robert Gordons at a tournament for all the local schools. A very successful mornings work with them winning all three matches and the tournament itself. They beat St Margarets 2:0, Albyne 3:0 and then Aberdeen Grammr 1:0 so Ellie kept a clean sheet. It was a bitter morning with a cold wind coming off the North Sea. Ellie even wore her duvet anorak under her hockey top for the last match!! Here are a few photos, Ellie in her black goalkeepers kit.
In the afternoon Isobel was playing for Hazelhead her club team against Grammar FP which finished a 1-1 draw, Ellie was playing in defence having decided it was too cold standing around in goal.
Today Isobel was again in action for Hazelhead in a 1:0 win over Aberdeen University,, a good result considering last year the same team beat them 7:0.
