sit on my saddle post: Pics and quick update

So far so good, 2011.

Been skiing a few more times since last, no snow though, so the billion tourist who came over xmas seem to have taken the snow back with them, the mountain is close to bare.

We went up Monday and Tuesday and had a good time though. Monday we met up with Sally's work friend from London, Kevin, who is doing an off pist course in Flaine (the biggest resort in Grand Massif), but he was pist off :) about the lack of snow. We had a go in the pist with him and his friend Daniel but they soon had to continue with their afternoon classes. So we met up with Paul and Hayley from work and together we had a few good runs and explored further.

Tuesday we went up with Lewis and Becky, from work, and they took us around Morillion. It's a smaller area than Flaine, but better when visibility is low due to the pists being narrower and surrounded by trees. Sally had a gracious fall when she had a go at a small jump (it's a hobby she's picked up on her own). She lowered her speed to next to stand still and on the top of the jump, she now glided over, she accidentally put a pole between her skis and went over it. Flat on her face with skis lying scattered around her Carl finds her.

New Year's Eve we had friends from work over for drinks and cheese and face paint. After pre drinks we went to the local for count down. At ours the face paint action got out of hand along with drinks - Lewis had a female breast on his bald forehead, Sally looked terminally ill with blisters and black eyes, Carl was a STI rebus.

Lots of love from us
