Our day off is on a Tuesday and our company has arranged to meet up with the skiers from another company (Stanford) for a joint ski every week. We meet at the Rosay café on the Mt d’Arbois side of the mountain and after a bit of a drink/bite to eat, we all head up together. At the moment I (Amelia) can’t keep up with the good skiers (Adrian etc.) so either I hang out with Lauren who’s learning like me or head off on my own. I wasn’t quite up to the ‘off-piste’ action a couple of weeks back that all the skiers managed (snowboards don’t lend themselves to sections of flat powder!) so did some blue runs by myself.
That powder day was pretty sweet!! One of the best ever! I (Adrian) rose early on my day off (those who know me will know how much I love to sleep), and got to the front of the lift line for first lift (Yeeha!!!), only to hear some British lady behind me say “What the lifts aren’t going yet? We’ll get a later bus tomorrow.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Needless to say I had fresh tracks all morning till I meet up with the rest of the crew. I was pretty shattered but skied on for the rest of the day. We got some footage of the afternoon, which I will have to try and nab it somehow. We stopped at the pub at the bottom of the mountain for a couple of beers and to talk about the beauty of skiing for seven hours. After the two pints we attempted to ski back into town with a little success and a lot of laughter. We then moved into town for a great night on the booze and the dance floor. If you can’t dance well, dance enthusiastically!!
