We got up early this morning well the rest of the boys did ! I was feeling a bit off peak stu &ali went to the supermarket and got supplies bob got up and started the breakfast ,I never had breakfast I just had two coffees ,we were on the slopes for 10:30 and again this morning there was 7 not 10 hot air balloons floating above us as we set of on the piste
Stu had booked a lesson today at 12:30 which went really well , a lot of the stuff we had been telling him was much the same as the instructor Tried to teach him /told him so that was good
Meanwhile me and bob skied all around le get area , Ali met up with us at the red bubble cars after much walkie talkie chaff and chat ,the 3 of us minus stu headed up the other side of le get valley ,we did a few lovely red runs then stopped for lunch at la grande ourse ! The music there was fantastic and we were really hungry , but we went in and looked at the menu it was very nice but very expensive ,the view was fantastic but we are on a budget this place was expensive we ordered 3beers and looked at the menu ! Too expensive for us but it turned out the owners were Cornish and had basically built up this family business together they had a downstairs Italian bar/restaurant cheaper menu ! We ordered a pizza plate of fries and a caesar salad and shared it between us absolutely fantastic dinner best food yet and at €30 euros was well worth it.
When we exited the restaurant the snow had started the slopes were really empty ,it wasn't big nice soft flakes of snow that floated out the sky, but driving snow brought in by the wind visibility wasn't the best but we wanted to ski the runs in that area so completed our task and headed back to morzine with some good fast skiing, by the time we got back to morzine the visibility was even worse but the slopes were pleasant (it's not easy being short sighted when skiing trying to decide goggles glasses no goggles or glasses everything's misting up).
We chose a couple of extra runs we had wanted to do but not wanted to drag stu on ,and ended up a wee bit over schedule we were supposed to meet him at 16:30 but came of the slopes at 17:45 he was waiting for us at the ski hire shop.
Bob went back to the apartment via the supermarket and got onions and peppers to cook us spaghetti bolognese me Ali and stu had a jaeger shot and beer then headed to dixies to enjoy the log fire and live music from the dixiemicks by the time we got back bob had the table set, and food cooked Ali went to sleep me and bob headed back out.
