Chffing down
... it together. Had I managed it 8 minutes before I would have not been given a 'time out' by the darned machine. Most of Verbier has a weird habit of turning off washing machines between 11.10 and 12.30 and 13.00 and 20.00. No other applicance, or sauna or ski lift, just the washing machines! Grrr. Anyway, had a nice cuppa with Helen (see Elfabroads Great Adventure for further tales of ...
A nice gentle start on the slopes
... weird. I kept freaking out that I was going to miss the chance to grab my skis before the bubble disappeared. Skiing in Verbier is much higher than La Ros, Las Attelas is 2750ish not the 2250 I'm used to. It's a lot busier here too.

Je suisse arrivee
Well after an epic road trip we arrived in Verbier just in time for dinner. Would have been nice to have a spruce up would have been good before meeting everyone! Got to see my treatments rooms-so lovely! The chalet No14 is beautiful and our apartment is kitted out well. I'm living with Ben and Vicky who wil run one chelet together and sharing a room with Beth who works in No 14.
Right I'm off to have a wander round my new town, catch you later!
