WEEK 2
SNOW AND CHALET REPORT
Can't believe we've been here 2
weeks ...
Two weeks ago today and everyone arrived
in resort ... amazing how time flies when it's not snowing
...
TOP GUN MARK 2 - Maverick of the week
goes to Declan, following his amazing marathon snog
in Jimmy's (started at 4.30pm, still going at 10.30pm).
Rhod has been showing his support back
at base - with hot toddies and a guitar at the ready
(going for the record of 14 nights on the piss). Sadly
his own first attempts with the local women have proved
thus far unfruitful (great knack of picking the married
ones) ... still it's OK, cos after a day in the board
park, he's discovered kickers now! Much more important.
Dave and Jess are the big chalet romance
... as are Katie and Colin (Daddy), who's brief trip
back the UK has resulted in 100s of dvds, 1000s of cans
of redbull, and The Caffreys.
In spite of bad conditions, everyone's
been making the effort to get up the mountain every
day - and whether practising riding switch, learning
to board for the first time, or landing the first 'fat
air' - everyone's still having fun ... just waiting
for the snow.
Snow news ...
Resort is looking decidedly peaky - it
hasn't snowed since 30th December so we're hanging for
the white stuff. Bases are in dire need of a bit of
softer ground to slide on (the rocks are killing me).
Nothing else to do but throw ourselves fully into the
fancy dress party in the Mont Blanc tonight ... have
to hope it doesn't sink to new lows of nipple flicking
... nuff said.
Next snow forecast for Tueday or Wednesday
this week (22nd/23rd Jan) - although none of the promises
of 'quelque flocons' have proved true yet ... will keep
you posted
