Hey there kids, hows things? whats doin'? Nice was fun and after major dramas with the train costing me a lot of money and time, I finally made it to Lyon. It was really good to see the family again and ben-ji. Had very little sleep there and then all crammed into a mini van type thing and headed for Les Menuires, and here we are. Its so beautiful being in the snow again, i love it. My first white christmas. Amy and mamma are having a little trouble getting the hang of skiing, in fact on the first day i tried to give amy a quick lesson in boarding, and she stuffed her knee and had to sit out for almost three days, i feel kinda bad because now she is really discouraged. Its also a little annoying because ben and lee are at a similar level, but the beginners class is in the afternoon and mine is in the morning, so i cant board with them... i joined in their class today and said i was just there to take photos, that was pretty cool.
I was a little worried for a bit there, I had some issues with my ankles, my boots were giving me grief on one leg and i got some blisters happening, and on the other my boots were crushing my achilles, that happened to me when i went boarding in hotham, i had to go to the doctor and i was out for a couple of days, so i was really scared, so i ended up sitting out for a day and a half, but today it wasnt so bad so i headed out and turned out ok, i still have to be careful though, i still have 3days to go and i want to make the most of them. In fact im goign to check out the weather in a sec... at first snow here was flowing and perfect, but its been sunny for a few days now so its not perfect... so here's hoping for a heavy snowfall! preferably just in time for christmas day...
This morning my class joined with another one and we built a jump, so much fun! we had a landing into really soft snow so we were all trying crazy stuff, i was so close to pulling off a 360°, just fell straight after the landing, but ill get there before i leave. Dad, amy, ben and i all have digi cameras so we are getting quite a collection of photos happening. Ill get them on here when i can.
Yesterday ben and tristan rocked up for a night and that was ok, we didnt do alot though, me and tristan just got stupidly drunk and then went out, but all the bars etc sucked so we just went outside and mucked around with a couple of luges, its pretty funny when you're hammered. I tried to go down a little hill standing on two of them, and ended up smacking my face on the ice, dont worry, im still pretty ;)
Internet here is so expensive! almost 5euros for half an hour, that is absolute robbery... but at least they are playing barry white right now, that almost makes up for it. hehe. Anyway, I better get home for some dinner and an early night, it was a long day today... pretty knackerd. I wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year. enjoy your sunny weather and think of me freezing my ass off in pitch black stockholm. ciao mes enfants!
