February Ski Holidays

Just to show that it can be sunny some times this year! This was the first sunny day after 2 days of snow and you can see all the runs down through the powder. Pure joy!


Nice sunny day on the way up on the ski lift.


Sarah riding the snow horse she made.


Jack's turn.

Jack really enjoyed the luge and flying off the side of the ski slope.

Sarah posing for the cameras with the latest in stylish blue fleece and fitting jeans and fur boots.

My line down the mountain on my skis! and not snowboard. First time I got a "real" off-piste ski experience.

Snow storm hits the Cote d'Azur

Mummies car the morning after under the sun but still cold and snow on the ground.

Jack de-icing the road so he can drive his car.

Jack and his snowman in the garden.

Jack amazed about the amount of snow once we got home. Or maybe it is just happy to be out of the car after 3 hours to do the 4 km to get home!

Mums car under the snow.

Finally home! Note I had to put on the snow chains to get out of Sophia just due to the amount of other cars out of control, spinning, sliding, overtaking, bumping, blocked, abandoned. A bit of everything. I even had a van behind me that slide down the road into the back of me and both of us sliding down the road! Jack enjoyed seeing all the cars stuck, cars with snow chains, cars with tyre snow socks. He was excellent in the car for so long :)

Some of the mess on the way home.

More of the mess.

First weekend of February

This weekend, Mummy and Daddy got to ski/snowboard together, and we did a little bit of off-piste skiing (but staying very close to the main slopes as it was dangerous - one person died in an avalanche on Saturday so may god be with him and his family).


Mummy heading down into the valley.


Finally some sun on Sunday.

This is on the "3 eveches".

Mummy "a fond les mannettes".
