No 6. Snowboard More - Completed

So we are back from a great week in the mountains.

Our last minute and incredibly cheap catered chalet turned out to be pretty fantastic – the other chalet guests were all lovely, and very interesting {amongst them being a bomb disposal expert, a doctor and the most outgoing 4 year old you will ever meet} and the food was {maybe too?} delicious and the wine pretty tasty and free flowing. The hosts were wonderful too. It made me wish I could do another season.

And slope side things were pretty good too; the boy picked up snowboarding so quickly it kind of made me sick {honestly, it took me so long to learn to turn and he got it in a day or so} but his easy adoption of the snowboard meant we made it to Italy a couple of times, up what can only be described as a hellish draglift, but the slopes in Italy made up for the journey there – they were wonderfully empty and long and wide, and we rode a lot of red runs on the French side and a token, but accidental, black run. We also rode in cloud so thick we could barely see the lift right behind us. Which, despite being a little scary, was a lot of fun. Our second trip to Italy was with some of the other guests from the chalet and our host - It was great to have to push myself a little!

One day our plans were thwarted by 65mph winds, but I will let nature off, as my knees were pretty messed up {and still are!} but the day was saved by a cosy chalet and the fact we collectively put together a fantastic cheeseboards {including an actual Kilo of cheese}

The question now is, have we left it too late to fit another mountain trip in before the snow disappears?
