I See The Sun :-D
We woke up this morning and were pleasantly surprised to see that the blizzard had passed us by. The sun was blaring down and we again hit the slopes.
Funny how yesterday Chunnie kept saying, "its too steep, i'm scared" but today, in the sunlight, it was "i'm okay *smile*". It was a picture perfect day of sun and ski, with many stops for photos and just to admire the view. We went all over the mountain, only stopping for a sandwich at lunch.
As the shadows got longer we decided to make one last run up the mountain and so we took a cable car to the very top (2700m) and proceeded to ski down...
Little did we know that we had skied down the opposite side of the mountain to our resort, and when we reached the bottom we were told that the lifts were all closed and the we would have to take a 100 euro taxi ride back. But luckily Chunnie's smile charmed a frenchie to letting us ride the closed lifts back up and ski back to our resort in the dark. Lifts close at 4.30 but we got back at 5.30... Though a benefit of the dark was that i finally saw Chunnie "burn up the slopes" since as she was skiing along, she went over a stone that sent sparks into the night.

Dude! Having fun eh :-). Looked through the pics and all the blog entries so far. Me in Bangalore enjoying the weather :-). You're having a ball ... man 3 footy games in 3 days? Hats off to chunnie for her patience! Sigh Liverpool didn't have to draw when you were watching them :-). Can 'see' you screaming your head off in joy on the piste. God bless the frenchies!
