The first home cooked group meal in the Chalet.
Bottom of the ski field - Le Bettex - Josh before his boarding lesson
Going up in the Gondola, our Chalet is the roof in the bottom left! - Very good location so not far to carry the ski's/board!
Going up in the Ski lift to the bottom of the ski runs
St Gervais
Christmas Kids Playground!
All of us a the top of the mountain: Laura, Kate, Sarah Kirsty, Simon, Tony, Josh, Steve, Mayank, Janki, Mitch, Larissa (Left to Right, Front to Back)
There had been snow here all week so we where watching our flight departures closely before we departed for a week's skiing in St Gervais over the festive period. All was going according to plan we even left early, checked in, went through security - all still good - we even had enough time to sit down and had dinner. Then came time to go to our gate so we waited for the gate to come up on the departures board and we waited and we waited and we got some free vouchers for food (no alcohol could be brought with them - disappointing) and we waited and then we took over 2.5hrs late! But at least we took off! We flew into Geneva airport and luckily our transfer waited for us and took us out to St Gervais ( in France in the Mont Blanc region). We joined, Steve, Larissa, Simon and his girlfriend Kirsty at a beautiful hotel, where we had a fantastic view of the mountain and the village. We where here for a week of skiing but spent Christmas day with Steve and Larissa walking around the town, playing pool and then had a lovely evening meal joined by Simon, Kirsty and her cousin. On boxing day we moved from the hotel to a Chalet that we had rented for the week and where joined by some other friends of the others, Mick, Tony, Laura and Kate. In total 12 of us stayed in the Chalet for the week. The others went skiing boxing day but Josh and I hired skies and got lift passes etc as our lessons started on the Monday. Josh took snowboarding lessons for the week and I took private Ski lessons and was joined in these lesson by Mayank who arrived with Janaki on the Monday night. The week was great but exhausting and we had sore legs! On NYE we went over to Chamonix for a nice dinner and a street party for the count down although for the record it felt more like a street riot!!! We had a dance in an overly packed bar until we finally got home about 3.30am. Only a few of the very best made it out skiing/boarding on NY Day! We left on the 2nd and headed back to London. We have a day to unwind then 4 days of work before we head off for NZ.
