01:30you like, water, whatever you like, for 1.75, great deal, especially when you have the penguins
01:36with you for breakfast.
01:42This is the most amazing hash brownies I've had, really nice, I'm going to go back to
01:46my food, I'm very hungry.
01:57And I'm ready to get inside the park, first things first, let's get geared up before we
02:02hit the snowboarding and the ski.
02:16That was fun, wow, for a minute I thought I lost my life.
02:32So, we're on top of the slope, I've never done tubing in my life, I'm nervous, but let's
02:47go and see what it's all about.
02:50No, I just want sweet, I'm not so adventurous.
02:55Okay.
03:13This is a Zorb Wall, I've never seen something as big as this on a snow, something very new,
03:20something very different.

04:04a nerve of steel to do this.
04:14Alright, this is our final destination, we're going up with a chairlift and we will go on
04:20right on top of the snow.
04:44After a long day's activity, I'm finally here to unwind at the snow cinema and I'm
04:51going to just relax and let the whole day settle in.

05:04you and you have a wonderful wide screen where you can watch a nice movie and snow around
05:11you, what more could you ask?
