"I Can SKI"

For all those cynical members of my family and friends…. Yes! I can Ski! No, I did not break any bones and I came away with a very few minor injuries. I managed to be able to ski down the blue runs by the end of the week and make it up to about 6,000 feet up the mountain by mastering the drag and chair lifts. After a week in ski school I went for a “girlie” ski. The reward at the top of the mountain by the female staff was of course a glass of “vin chaud”. This is one way of not really caring how you get back down the mountain. This can take about 20 minutes or so. (I never realised that the runs would take that long). Any way over the next few weeks the staff will begin to share pictures so keep looking out for more.
