Congratulations all round really

Well, it's been a busy week - we've had the gap-year trainee instructors all finishing their exams, whilst loads of existing instructors have been bettering themselves doing the "ISIA Technical Exam" (particular congratulations got to Dr Chris and Tom - but that might just be because Tom's sitting next to me whilst I'm typing...).

On top of all that ES Falcon Karsten made it to the top of Mont Fort (and breezed the trip back down) aged eight.

So we've had a million things to celebrate, so T-bar was rammed last night with revelers and hangers-on, jumping up and down and generally being daft.

And - as if that wasn't enough - it's been amazing sunshine all day, with plenty of people floating about the Furry Shovel [sic] saying it's been one of the best days of the season.

And there's more sun to come. Wallop.
