Me and Karen managed to sneak away for a few days snowboarding in Chamonix this week :-) Here we are hitting the slopes with our cool retro snowboarding gear!
Day 1 - The first day we went snowboarding in Brevent....and it was snowing! Powder at Easter....
Karen had not been boarding for five years....but she was like a duck to water....or snow....
Tired, bit snowy, hungry, but smiling :-) Top Day.
We stayed in the Hotel Croix Blanche in the middle of Chamonix...
Day 2 - Again snowboarding at Brevent. This time in the sunshine. At last we got to see the mountains...
Here's Karen riding the snow that fell last night...
We took a ride on the cable car to the top of Brevent...
Karen on the cafe decking....overhanging a 2000ft cliff....Nice view though!
Back in Chamonix. Only one of the people in this picture is real. The building is painted with images of old Mountain Guides...
Day 3 - Flegere. The cable car station at Flegere. The sun came out again for our last day on the slopes...
A great trip. Many thanks to Gran and Grandad for looking after the bambinos. Chamonix...see you soon :-)
