Round 2 in the French Alps

=)

This time we went to a bigger mountain in which we got lost on the first day! If you look at the map we are staying on the bottom left and on the first day we went as far as to the bottom right! haha.

The mountain this round is much higher but it wasn't superbly high as we thought coz the peak only has runs for advance skiers. Kinda ripped off in one way. But hey, can't complain when 4 of the 5 days was sunshine, had a nice 'panda' tan on the way back and waking up to exercise everyday is what everyone can dream for.

Not forgetting fresh water and french pastries everyday...Mmm, our trip this round was much more 'comfortable' with cab services taking us to the accomodation, cable cars and escalators to bring us around, train tickets to the airtport instead of the Easybus and we even manage to come back earlier than expected to avoid the school holiday traffic =).

As well as I have gotten much better with my snowboarding (almost tempted to try jumps) and I can't complain with runs going as long as 40mins and as wide as 3 football fields! T'was a great time just to get away in the snowy slopes.

Check out the pictures and videos as they say more of course ;) . Here's one for a teaser:
