December 21st

to 29th

Busy week as you can imagine. Desperately wishing for snow as though we can get out most days the con 21st ditions are getting more rocky, and bizarre to go up on chair lifts with no snow under you at all. Skied at the weekend with dawn as well as Dave. Sunday saw us off to taconnaz to Hobbes sit, who has been in a nasty fight and sporting a black eye and a bite on his forehead, definitely jumpy and nervous about venturing outside. Rested from skiing on the Monday then a nice bright day on Xmas eve saw us have a good ski at brevent. Christmas eve out into Chamonix and met up with Megan, her family here on hols and nearly everyone I have met whilst we have been here!!! Great night. Christmas day woke up to mild grey conditions with rain imminent and felt right at home. However once up on the slopes the rain turned into brilliant snow and turned the mountain into a winter wonderland! Quite fitting for the only Santa on the mountain, I was determined to wear my 3.99 outfit, find it unbelievable there is actually something in the cham valley that can be bought for that little.

After the ski headed off to Sophie's and toms in les houches and had a great evening. Sophie now sporting a diamond!!! How romantic and so pleased to share an even more special day with them. Talked to everyone over the course of the day and managed to get a three way convo  with Natalie and harry before harry had to go to have his starts.

Boxing day I worked hard, Dave had bad hangover which could have also been a viral infection as despite the snow continuing he felt unable to ski, even the following day which was blue and gorgeous, so I went up alone. Saturday saw Dave revived and back on his skis with me working 7hrs. Busiest weekend of the season. Popped out Saturday night to meet Sophie, Megan and Jane and found out Megan in a relationship with her friend Neil for past 2 months, now outed!!! All going on in Chamonix!!!

Beautiful day Sunday, big dump of snow the previous night so met up with Megan and Sophie and had a great ski, though my style is going backwards I feel whilst Dave continues to improve. Had a big face plant in powder, nearly lost my ski and Sophie laughed a lot!!!!! Photos sure to follow. Lessons are needed soon I feel. Off to Christmas dinner with dawn and Ian tonight, looking forward to that very much.
