In the snow!

Well, we decided to spend two days in Chamonix (instead of one day in Crozet, then one in Chamonix) as it actually turned out cheaper with the lift passes, as we only needed to pay for the small slopes for beginners (much less than the big slopes) and to hire everything from one place for both days.

Ended up staying in the car Friday night, as the hostel was 28 euro's each and we thought that was just too much, even if it is cheap compared to other places in Chamonix, we wanted to save the money.

Well, anyway, we had a great time on the slopes, I feel I've really improved for one. We had the slopes to ourselves for most of Saturday too, which was good, and the weather was gorgeous! Even if I caught the sun a bit, Russell won the imitating-a-tomato award. I think they both really enjoyed themselves, and after both days had really picked up the skill of it. Was the best fun I'd had so far snowboarding!

Will be adding some pictures and videos on facebook before too long, and might come back and add one or two videos to the end of this post when I've found the best ones!

Now though, I was just happy to have a day without doing anything since I've been running around so much recently! I've had fun, it's just been one thing then another for a couple of weeks. Been nice to clear up some of the stuff in the flat and chill out, spending the day in my pyjama's like everyone should do on a Sunday sometimes.
