It never rains but it pours
Having been assured that the roads were clear we set off for Meribel
on Thursday morning. It started raining just past Reims, and snowing
when we got to Lyon. Needless to say the last part of the journey
was rather hairy, but chains on we crawled up the mountain and made
it to La Taverne in time for last orders.
The next day was grey
and cloudy again, more snow and much bustling around town as the
new staff arrived, shiny and co-ordinating in their new uniforms.
La Poste opening that night led to severe carnage and wandering
home in the snow around 2am. But it was worth the hangover to wake
up to this...
Blue sky, fresh
powder
Well, it was tough, but someone had to do it. In the spirit of research
I headed over to Val d'Isere for the first day of the season and
shared the Solaise area with about three other people, in glorious
sunshine - magic.
All systems
are go
It looks like things might be gearing up for a monster season in
Europe, all the signs are good. Many other resorts are opening over
the next few weeks and if the snow quality is anything like I experienced
in Val on saturday then it's going to be a whole heap of fun. Bring
it on!
