Ski Holiday to Les Menuire

On the first weekend of January we flew (after a bit of a delay) to Geneva on route to Les Menuire in France for a weeks ski holiday. We had booked a chalet in the village of le Bettaix a short walk from a ski lift up to the main resort. There was a group of 14 of us in all, the two of us, Nicki (Fi's sister), Paul & Beth (Paul organised us all), Tracey, one of their friends, Chrispy & Sarah with their two girls - Beth & Rebekah, Hannah & Peter & two of their friends, Mark & Fiona.

We had lots of fun on & off the slopes, were well looked after by our chalet hosts, Jody & Callum, & generally had a blast.

Fi did her first black run & we both got award for spectacular wipe-outs. No injuries but plenty of bruises. Bumboarding was a favoured non-skiing pastime & some even happened at night.

Enjoy the photos!



and some more!
