Have you ever had a day that didn’t go as planned but still turned out to be ok? Our second day at the ski resort had all the elements of a snowy adventure: icy roads, a minor car accident, and a sledge session on a ski slope.
Here’s how we turned a frosty mishap into fun and some tips for staying safe on icy roads and making the most of unexpected moments during your travels.
We started our day slow and cozy, enjoying a lazy morning before having lunch. Snow tubing was on the agenda, but icy roads had a surprise in store for us. Just after exiting a roundabout, a car skidded and clipped our rear bumper. While our bumper cracked, we counted ourselves lucky his car suffered much worse damage after being rear-ended too. Despite the chaos, no one was hurt, and every car managed to drive away safely.
After sorting out insurance and gathering our nerves, we continued to the tubing spot, only to find it closed due to -7°C weather and high winds. Not ones to let the day go to waste, we grabbed our sledge board and made our way to the ski slope. What followed was good fun, racing down the slopes trying to avoid the chaos and listening to the screams echoing through the chilly air.
We returned home with rosy cheeks and stories to tell, calling insurance over a comforting homemade dinner. It wasn’t the day we planned, but it’s one we’ll remember.
