| home > Skiing (part 2) |
This section mainly
revolves around my skiing class, consisting in no particular order
of: Andrew, Paul, Wendy, Zoe, David, Don, Faith and myself. They were all a
very understanding and forgiving bunch considering my propensity for taking
people out. I wasn't called The Alpine Assassin for nothing you know!

 |
This is us
lot outside the pizza place in Villeneuve. This was basically where I could be
found every lunchtime, weighing up my afternoon skiing options. |
| David - quite
possibly the one with the most potential of the group. He buggered his knee on
Day 3 though, which meant he was out of action for the rest of our stay. |
 |
 |
Wendy &
Tony outside one of the lunchtime haunts. You can vaguely see the nursery
slopes to the left of Wendy's head - they are the flat ones in case you were
wondering. |
| Zoe - looking
particulary mischievious if I might say so. She was the one who originally
dubbed me the Alpine Assassin and who told me not to ski near her as I was a
calamity waiting to happen. I know she didn't really mean it.... |

A wee forray
into nighttime drinkies. Couldn't tell you the name of the bar, but it seemed
like fun at the time. Left to right - Andrew, Don, Wendy, me, someone else and
Paul. |
| Andrew - one
of the chuckle brothers. This must have been before I whipped his ass at pool,
cos he's still smiling. Oh how I love stirring in my editorial, when the
victims can't fight back... ;-) |
 |
 |
Paul, the
other chuckle brother if you han't already guessed. Very good at wiggles. |
| The last day
at Villeneuve, Serre Chevalier. Notice my expression of joy on handing back my
skiis |
 |
 |
Notice its
innocent slopes and its gente undulating curves. Witness my bete noir. My
living nightmare. This is Mickey. An innocuous looking green slope from a
distance, a killer close up. Well OK, it was pretty easy really, but it was
a sneaky little bugger when it wanted to be. |
| This is just
a pretty picture really. I'd like to say I tackled this peak, but you would
know I was lying. |
