be my valentine
careful: hard snow = adapting your speed + behaviour = safety
3/4's of the slopes are open and we are going for it...
little devil z
i've had two bollockings from ski instructors today for z's behaviour en piste.
he will not turn and insists on bombing straight down in snow plough formation on all mountains, regardless of their difficulty.
stubborn little shit also insisted on not being helped off a chair lift today and shouted 'non merci' when the attendant went to help him.
he was subsequently knocked over by the chair he'd just been sitting on, and narrowly missed being entangled with it and carried all the way back down again, screaming.
trouble in a small package
saw this helmet cover and knew it was made for son #2
if the hat fits...
the other one.
maximum's been crashing a bit today
but that probably has something to do with the amount he goes off piste.
i keep turning round to see him with one foot on the slope and the other at 90º going along a wall or snow drift.
i've also been crashing a bit today.
i'm parallel skiing now and getting up some decent speed down red slopes.
(i have only been skiing for 7 days in total now)
the wipe-outs have not been helping my back 'condition' but i am having good amounts of scary fun.
i'm late to it, but i LOVE skiing.
bad mountain architecture
skied over to here, somewhere.
and had lunch in the sun.
i HATE to admit it but the french cider i accidentally bought (thinking i was getting a magners) was actually quite palatable.
when did that all change...?
and now
i'm sitting in a bar drinking the real magners for €6.50 a demi litre, on valentines' night, on my own, trying not to listen to the live french band doing romantic covers.
mrs.perou's already passed out, back at the apartment.
i'm doing emails and ftp'ing images off.
i don't do holidays without the phone and laptop: no time off for good behaviour.
