we were very fortunate the sun came out as we exited the mountain top between val t and meribell and it stayed out all day , it was still bitterly cold but it was gloriously sunny when we were not in the shade ( obviously ) and we had a excellent day out on the slopes , meribell looks like it would be another great place to go and stay some day , its also the resort schumacker was in when he had his wee accident apparently caused by his gopro ! theres lots of good runs we only scratched the surface of the available slopes and villages there today theres actually 3 parts to meribel,and hopefully we shall explore more of them later in the week , everybody skied well today and there was no major falls we had tumbles large and small over the past two days . and i discovered this morning that the tumble i took yesterday ( i shall blame the poor visibility for that one ) has broke my go pro selfie stick as it was in my backpack when i went down , i also lost my whip leash for the gopro today ,being the crew film man is becoming a stress !
we stopped for soup and beer in meribell ( ross had mulled wine ) and we done a few runs in that valley between val t and merribell after lunch that were really pleasant .it was not too busy on the slopes we chose the ski`ing in the afternoon was good ,it had been vbeen a good day and we headed back over the mountain to val T , the sun was till shining and i was surprised to see that la folie douce has its own direction post on the slopes leading to it in a lot of years skiing ive never seen a sign post pointing to the pub lol , so we decided to join the crowd and put our hands in the air raise the roof boom boom boom , ok me and ali opted for a seat away from the mob and are still refusing to pay 50cents for a pea so that restricts us to 2 beers max , we skied the last run and kept to the high ground knowing there was a route to the frog and roast beef right of the slope , we had one last beer before it got dark ,the sun was setting as we skied down the empty slope at the front of the resort to the back door of our appartment beautifulll end to an excellent day on the slopes
after our chilli dinnner not chilly cold ! it was an excellent pot of chilli and rice we had a quick power snooze ( well the team did i worked on this blog ) afterward we went out to shamrock bar and had a beer ,then decided to take the elevated walkway to the sports centre and have a beer in the bar in there , turns out there was a band playing and they were good the bar was jumping and singing in french so not any brits, but it was a good atmospher we were all tired and opted to go home at 01:00 when the bar was shutting anyway
Looks excellent guys and great to see the sun shining for you all!!
