And while we are on the subject of silly hats...here's a real Brit abroad

Day 1

Steady night last night, a bottle or two of wine each and a few cheeky beers in the Canadian bar.
Don't believe all Peter Mason says, the drinks out here are a bargain!


Up and ready to hit the slopes soon!

Looking forward to seeing you all today.

Funding...

I have an important message from Peter Mason on the eve of this trip. If you are worried about how you are going to fund the drinks rounds with Gary Edmondson being present then there is a glimmer of hope for you. This weekends Euro lottery has a 117 million prize fund. It could just help you out and at least pay the deposit so you can nip across to Switzerland and agree funding for the rest of it.

OK off to pack my bags. See you all Wednesday....

Almost there...

Well there's about a week to go and it seems we may be lucky in that there might be a square inch of snow left by the time we get there...! I for one am really looking forward to next week whatever the snow conditions. Just a few days away in a scenic location with good food, wine and company is a very welcome break and I am looking forward to it. A friend of mine came back from Morzine last week and although I think the snow is not fabulous its 'OK' and there's some on the beginners slopes. Steve, Chruc we should be ok... !

Peter Mason and I are running Reading half marathon next weekend and with that we shall pronounce ourselves ski fit and ready to sit back and consume copious amounts of wine and fondue. isn't that what the training was for Peter...?

How ski fit is everyone else feeling...?  :-)

Hard training

Just a quick update on my training. Firstly the View from our breakfast table.




We had 14" champagne powder last night and another 16" forecast tonight.

Finally the all important view from the bar and yes, it's snowing and yes the snow is about 4 feet deep out there!
