Let it snow. let it snow, let it snow...

As nice as all those blue skies were, the snow was starting to get a little worn. So we have just had a beautiful dump today - which did mean giving our lessons in white-out conditions - which is set to continue tomorrow. However, Sunday is due for bright skies again. Darn the luck...

There is definitely something rather magical about sitting watching falling snow. Ideally it should be done with a hot chocolate, in front of a roaring fire and in the arms of a loved one. If Vicki was here, it would be the perfect scene. But enough of the "woe is me" narrative, I have now completed my first week of the course. It has gone fairly well, and my scores at the mid-point are encouraging, if not quite there yet. But with another week of training after the weekend to go, I am quietly confident of doing ok. And let's face it, if I were to fail, the backlash from Vicki is enough to ficus anyone's mind!!

Not alot to say when all I do everyday is ski, but it's nice to hear the jealousy emanating from all corners of the world! Visitors will of course be most welcome in Verbier, as long as they buy us some food and drinks when they are there. In return, we will attempt to set them up with chalet girls / boys as appropriate or simply show them the best slopes / bars / saunas (delete as appropriate).

So until next time, think of me with a big grin on my face up to my knees in snow!

Cheers all!
