10/1/15
This morning was spent doing our mid-term evaluations and general discussions about how our time here was and what we think could be improved and what was already perfect. We completed all our jobs in record time, and we were able to have the afternoon off. We were able to get a lift down to the Ski World Cup.
The World Ski Cup for Slalom and Giant Slalom, is held in Adelboden each year. The town of Boden, which is right next to Adelboden, during this time, turns into a sea of white marquees, people, and a mix of mud and snow. We were highly excited by the free hats.. and free sunglasses.. and more free beanies... and free flags... you get the idea.

Us with the ski run
We went back about 3.45, Jen picked us up. We were supposed to be going out for a staff social night, for night sledging, unfortunately the run was closed due to little snow and bad winds. So we had dinner at the normal time of 6 pm, but it was leftovers, so it was an easy set up and clear up. After dinner some of us headed into town to celebrate the one weekend of the year where Adelboden actually has a night life!!
