a few degrees lower in temperature at -13 at the top with snow and a slight breeze it was a tad chilly and visually challenging to say the least , we had not skied quarter of our first run when ross came to realise his boots were going to be unbearable he was falling regularly because he was hurting which culminated in him doing a face plant into a deep pile of powder snow , that wasn't the worst of it both his skis had come of as he tumbled forward and we couldnt find them in the deep snow all 4 of us took ten minuets ( well for 3 of us i had to do a bit of gopro filming while trying to suppress a giggle ) once we got his skis and could move on , we decided to split the group untill ross changed his boots, me and cammy went for pizza and coffee and a few runs over the other side of the valley before meeting back up at around 1pm ,after a couple of easy runs we decided it was time to visit the famous la folie douce a real bumping apres ski bar between the hours fo 3-5 the tables are full to bursting and that includes people standing on them a dj does a great performance from a balcony on the outside of the big mountain chalet, we got a beer up and when we wanted to leave ross had got into company and decided that this was the place to be ! he was ski`ing no more today ! well we told him he would have to ski back into town from la flolie douce so take it easy on the beers .myself and ali refused point blank to pay 50cents to take a leak we were going ! cammy with us ( i think he left his wallet and we had the kitty lol )
for it only being our first day we certainly split up a lot and because of the toilet situation it wasnt long untill myself andd ali decide a quick pee stop at the shamrock bar would be the way forward ,I had totally forgot rangers and celtic were playing at home and the game was obviously getting shown in the shamrock bar with strangely enough very few rangers supporters , it didnt bother cammy he wasnt leaving i gave him some cash after me and ali finished our beer and we decided to head back up to make sure ross got back ok
by the time we located ross he had a walkie talkie and so did cammy the music was blaring out it was all a shambles ! cammy was talking for ross we thought it was ross , but the short of it was that cammy had finished and had no key for the hotel we eventually located ross and we all skied back down to meet cammy at the ski lockers in the hotel its great just ski`ing to the back door of your appartment block , speking of appartment block me and ali are by far the oldest two guests in this appartment block ! its full of the young team ,
i made us all a thai curry with a salad starter with some beers out our balcony beer chiller ( best remember to bring they bottles of beer in before the freeze out there ) and we decided to head out up the far end of town from us theres a street of bars up there we opted to start aour night in a bar called the frog and roast beef which was standing room only , they have a ice challenge on your first round if you beat the bar staffs roll of the dice then you get your first round free ! we got our first round free well done ross , there was a lot of folk on stags and fancy dress and a couple of bar crawl groups in with their tour reps , we had another beer and moved along the street to another irish bar called oconnels were cammy manged to fall down the stair to the toilet and break their railing ! he wasnt drunk and the stairs were wet and tight oops , we stayed there untill closing time and walked past malaysia nightclub hotting up as we headed home cant see me and ali visiting that place
