Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all etc etc. I hope the festive period was good and everyone is now refreshed and ready for the new year...
Sorry for the lack of updates however I have had a lot on my plate recently which I will let you know about in due course.
The snow has started to fall with vengeance - 130cm in the past week. So the resort is starting to look a little more normal, however certain areas on the hill do need another meter at least, although that should fall within the next couple of weeks :)
Ben has a friend visiting from home for a couple of days as part of a larger world trip. So we took him and one of Bens' work mates to Mongolie Grill last night.
This morning the 4 of them headed out at 6:30am for "Fresh-tracks". You catch the lift up the hill at 7:30am, have an all you can eat breakfast then get the first run down the hill when Avalanche safety have given the clearance.
Each morning this week at about 8am the dull thuds of the safety team carrying out avalanche clearance explosions could be heard - always a good sign of a lot of snow :)
Anyway, I'm having a relaxing day on the sofa today so I'm going to get back to my toast and orange juice breakfast.
More news soon :)
