That'll be me in the French Alpes

This year I decided to go skiing for just a few days, rather than a full week like the past couple of years.  My skiing friends all had holidays booked so I decided to take the plunge and go on a "singles" holiday!

Pippa was assigned as my roommate and we hit it off right away.  The first day was long, with the travel from Stansted to Meribel and then bad weather which stopped us skiing that day.  It was hard to just relax and enjoy some down time, but I tried my best!  We discovered that evening that the hotel meals weren't exactly cordon bleu and after a few drinks, got an early night, ready for three days skiing.

We had great luck with the weather.  The bad weather the day we arrived delivered piles of fresh powder snow and the three days we skiied were graced with fabulous blue sky and sun.

I skiied for the first couple of days with Pippa and Pete.  They were better skiiers than me but I wasn't too far behind most of the time!  The red and easy black trails were challenging but I coped thanks to the great snow.
