WEEK 4
SNOW AND CHALET REPORT
And then there was ... :o(
Last week's tantalising powder days
were short lived ...
... after Monday's miserable pissing rain
washed it all away ... sheet ice and afternoon slush
are the predominant features in this week's Planet News.
Still, we've been making the most of unseasonally
warm weather in the board park again - with John getting
the grabs down nicely, Rhod and Scott sticking their
landings, and Nev and Steph getting the hang of 180s
... Tony - not one to be beaten - has finally nailed
the 360s off the spine.
... not forgetting Declan, who, after
having his arse bruised by Tony (!!), turned his attention
from kickers, back to his usual passtime - checking
out the laydeez ...
Last Sunday's roast dinner turned into
a huge affair with potato peeling and gravy for 25 -
check out the photos from this and other nights out
in the new photo
section.
Wednesday was bowling and cheap drinks
round 2, followed by scandal and general drunkeness
in the Apokalypse ...
Karaoke in the Mont Blanc was very bad
but very funny - and last night's beach-party-turned-Mexican
marked Claire, Tracey, Matt and Maria's last night in
resort. Can't believe everyone's been here for a month!
Snow news ...
Hmmm ... well the overall cover's better
than before, there are fewer rocks in the pistes, and
everything's open. Doesn't entirely make up for the
fact that there was powder - a foot of it - and
then it RAINED! waaaaaaaah :o(
But aside from throwing our toys out of
the cot - we've been tanning ourselves in the sun, hitting
the kickers with renewed enthusiasm, and generally making
the most of long lie ins to let the ice soften up ...
Snow is supposed to arrive in the next
couple of days - we'll keep you posted.
