Wednesday January 8

Today on the third day of ISP I got to sleep in and go skiing. We got the opportunity to meet up on the mountain and ski. A ski patrol named Peter took us to Beacon valley and showed all of us how to use beacon's and how to find someone if they were buried in an avalanche. After beacon valley we went to Prospect Bowl and got to ski Geneveive, we all had a short lesson on avalanches and told us about how someone got caught in an avalanche on that run. Then we went to this area where no one had gone and the ski patrol showed us the layers of the snow and some ways to tell if the snow is safe or dangerous.
