Bonne Année

And so it is 2013! We went to the excellent village fireworks show last night which drew shouts of Bravo from the crowd and our pyromaniac sons set off a few fireworks of their own later. This morning we decided to make our way over to the tiny village of St Jean d"Arves which is much prettier than Le Corbier but a bit "out on a limb"; the only way to access the rest of the ski area is via the lower part of Le Corbier. Nice skiing although we came across one alarming poma tow which started so violently that it lifted us off our feet! For some reason the boys called it "the ball breaker!" Back to Le Corbier for lunch in Bar Le Yeti then the boys took James off for more skiing while I headed back to the apartment. Later Jamie and I went swimming in the hotel pool; it started to snow so it was great swimming along with snow falling on our heads. We also had a good chat. After dinner we went to the hotel bar for a convivial drink.
