Off to Meribel

Posted by gerrod in: everyday life, skiing

It’s been a wonderfully quiet week, in which I’ve enjoyed lots of down time. I’ve been to the gym every day, played lots of PS3 (I finished Darksiders in 18 hours, and have started on Assassin’s Creed II), and got lots of tasks ticked off the never-ending “To Do” list. It’s been very satisfying!

Tomorrow, we leave for a week of skiing in Meribel, France, along with Nick and Suzie, Aubain and Ingrid, Eva and Ali, Todd, Giovanni (who we met at last year’s ski trip), Russell (Suzie’s old flatmate), and Russell’s brother. We’re actually heading off tonight to stay in an airport motel near Gatwick, as our flight leaves very early tomorrow morning.

Once we get there, we’ll be staying at Chalet Laetitia – a brand new, four star, fully catered chalet. Awesome! Just hope the weather isn’t actually as cold as the forecast – I can’t imagine what -26C (after windchill) will feel like, but by Wednesday afternoon, I might know!

See you in a week!

Enjoy your skiing trip. Hope it isn’t as cold as that (doesn’t it mean it will be too cold to snow?)

Fantastic! We’re suprized you are not actually competing in the Olympics in a couple of days. They must have over looked you this year. Maybe next time.
