Written in the week...Posted a little late!


Hi Everyone,

Can’t believe how quickly this week has gone. Unfortunately Sarah has had to go back to England again for a couple of days, so I have been in Chalet Chery for a couple of days. Only had 5 guys and they also stayed in Chalet Perrier when I was working there 2 years ago, so nice to know I didn’t put them off coming back! Back to Chalet Clovis tomorrow, Ant’s busy this week with 10 and then next week he has 12 ladies who apparently will all fuss over him!

As Clovis was empty for a couple of days we made full use of the table tennis table and carzonet which is a room downstairs which used to be a store room, but the owners have changed it into a very nice living room with internet TV, DVD player, stereo, iPod dock, kitchen and sofas and tables etc, perfect for a great evening. Andy cooked his famous Pizza which was very good! Played some table tennis also, I won’t say who won as the boys might get cross with me!!!!!



Both of us have had occasions this week where we’re very pleased we have helmets! Before I go on...we are both fine! Ant was on his snowboard and going over some logs, whilst turning in between the board caught his heel side and spun him around, causing him to hit head first, on his back down the slope. After a rest and big hot chocolate he was ok fortunately.
There is a tree in the stash which has a branch growing out in an L shape and a kicker just before so you can jump through. After seeing some guys go through the tree I thought I can do that. Turns out I can’t! Didn’t realise the size of the gap between the kicker and tree and I didn’t have enough speed to clear it, so my ski’s hit the branch and came off, I’m now heading head first down the slope also, landing on my shoulders! Ant kindly picked up my debris, after a little rest all was fine again and we carried on with the rest of the obstacles.

On Sunday evening when we went home it was raining, so we didn't have high hopes for the conditions the following day. Both rather still asleep as we left for work at 7am on Monday morning were soon woken when we got to the car and there was 6 inches of fresh snow! The weather turned
into clear blue skies and a perfect day to do some powder snowboarding.

On Tuesday we met up with Andy, Sylvie and Katie so we all had a ski together. Katie did her first off piste powder route with us all and was like a pro first time! There were many laughs down the slope and when you turned you’d see someone sat in snow!


This is the picture from our fondue/raclete night a couple of weeks ago that couldn't get to load and promised we’d show you!

Will write to you all again soon, take care.
