Awesome 1st Day!!

Early finish though.........

Got up 7am as alarm on phone still on thinking it was a school day.
Good start that; after saying we were having a lie-in!!

Sorted season passes for us four - wow! Steep or what at 2k in euros
but it is cheaper than buying for each Xmas, Feb & Easter holiday.
Generally it gets cheaper if you do more than 15 days in a season.

Snow awesome, especially after last years disaster. Plently of base
down and no bare patches - no more forecast for next few days though
so I wonder how slopes will cope with the hordes? Got on slopes by
9:30 and virtually empty, and that's not an
exageration.....................soon understood why though; naff-all
open! 6-person from bottom, no orange bubble, slow chair at
chavvannes, no drags and the fast 6-chair back from La Rosta only. So
can't ski La Rosta, and can't ski down to Nyon, etc, etc. Could take
sweeping blue to magic carpet chair to get over to Morzone though
which we did but its bizarre; we've never enjoyed Morzine so quickly
headed back over. Went for drink at 11 and then realised wallet in car
at chavvannes so kids skies down to collect with bar staff convinced I
was gonna do a runner so watched me like a hawk.

Did a couple more runs and called it an early day - cowards but think
everyone still tired? Suits me as still knackered plus its boring with
only a few runs open.

Really odd in that you've got acres of real snow after the crappy dry
slopes in the UK and you can moan about only having 20km's to
ski...............???

Still; can now watch Star Wars that I fell asleep to last night!!

Am also going to consider my next new purchase. Am thinking about a
RED lid as lots of decent freestylers have them and I so want to be
like them and "in" with them. Also gonna change my email address to wannabe@mac.com
I think.........
