Skiing in Meribel 2004

Gareth's brother Tim and his girlfriend Gill are out doing a session looking after four chalets and providing social skiing for the occupants.  They are based in Meribel and Silver Ski offered a half price week in January, so Gareth and I decided to go and see how it was working out...

....all very friendly and organised.

How about the rest of the holiday?

A great time despite the rain earlier in the week, a chance to practice skiing in powder and snowy cloudy conditions - honestly that was good!  Jay and Polly the staff looking after Chalet Everest did a really good job keeping us fed and topped up with wine.

Best of all everyone in the chalet was fun to be with, which made the week even more enjoyable.  The game of "Who Am I" was classic and went on for ages and with Ray looking after William at breakfast, we were never short of classic quotes.

So for Tim and Gill it's three weeks done and the rest of the season to look forward too along with lots of skiing.
