So, January came and we decided to hit the slopes in France for a week’s skiing, boarding and big-footing!
We’re only just getting round to posting about it now [two months on] because we’ve been working ever so hard since then to ensure that we get to do it again next year! Honestly, we have, it’s not like we’re just lazy or anything!!
We spent the week living in luxury in an amazing chalet provided by Ski Cuisine [who I would recommend to everybody] where we were waited on hand and foot by our chalet-host Ome and gourmet chef Regan [who, by the way, is insane on a snowboard!]
After leaving Luke’s house at 3 in the morning, we arrived in Meribel at around lunch time and headed straight for the hire shop. An hour and a half later and Kelvin finally had his boots sorted but there was still plenty of time for the by-then very frustrated [but very friendly] assistant to kit the rest of us out.
Unfortunately [for Regan], choosing boots wasn’t the only thing Kelvin was pernickety about! While we were all enjoying some of the most wonderful meals from brazed duck to lamb chops, Kelvin was happily tucking into his staple diet of pizzas, pasta, burgers and chips – all of which, of course, meant plenty of ribbing for him! Joking aside though, the week wouldn’t even have happened had it not been for Kelvin having everything planned from the minute we left Luke’s house to the minute we got back! Cheers Kelvin!
All in all the holiday was awesome–as you can see from some of the many many photos we all took–and had everything from minor injuries [Claire's "arse bone"] to alcohol-induced pavement-pizza to helicopter rides and 59 bone-crunching seconds on the Olympic bobsleigh run in La Plagne.
Kelvin enjoyed himself that much, he’s gone back out there for another [probably slightly more relaxing] week!
Be sure to check out some of the video clips we took on the slopes as well – there’s everything from Driving Miss Lewis to Luke and I racing over each other’s skis to Regan disappearing over huge jumps! There’s even Sii’s valiant attempt at filming from inside the bobsleigh – not for the faint of heart!
