Today was a mixed bag, I woke up feeling decidedly worse for wear (thanks to Chris) and Gaz's morphine has worn off so he is less than happy with the world. After a bit of a bitch about how sucky we felt Gaz shuffled to Russells to spend the day ensconced in luxury and I met the 'A' team for a days skiing.
Today instead of sticking together we opted to split into two groups give or take, a faster group (The A Team) and a slower group (Who do not apparently like being referred to as 'the losers'). In the A Team were Myself, Steve, Chris, Dom, Bluntly, Stubby, Crispy and Russell. In the slower group were Vicky, Kate, Jane, Bridie, Scott and Phil.
Chris awoke early and ever the keeno insisted on being out by 0900 so he could get some runs in before meeting us. The meeting time set was 0930 outside the building, except Russell who would be meeting us at the first lift. Things did not start well for the slower group, Kate had it in her head that the meeting time was 1000 and kept everyone waiting.
Still, the lateness meant we could have a social gossip before departing, and it became apparent that I was not the only person having trouble sleeping... It would seem that Bluntly and Kate had kept some people awake, and when they stopped Crispy had loud and violent sleep terrors which kept waking those in his room (Phil and Scott). As these night terrors don't keep him awake he does not seem at all bothered.
We (The A Team) opted to abandon the others and continue on, and it became immediately apparent to me that today was much colder or that the dreaded Douglas strain of the Avian flu I had contracted (thanks to Chris) was making me very very cold. I was fully buttoned up with barely an inch of skin showing and I stayed freezing all day, even in the sun. Incidentally in case your wondering, the weather here is fantastic - very clear skys and views the gods themselves would be awed by.
After a couple of successful runs we were on our way to try a new lift and route when Chris and Stubby had a small coming together in a crowded area of the slopes. Both were weaving in and out of the many people milling around when both opted to try for the same small gap between a lift and a crowd, unfortunately they were trying for this gap at the same time and it wasn't big enough. I had a perfect view of the collision, Stubby saw it coming but could do nothing about it, Chris had no idea he was there. Stubby managed to stay upright but the hit sent Chris flying, he was so unamused he opted to Skiboard in his own for the rest of the day but it was very funny to watch.
We had lunch in the same cafe as yesterday and all met up there, after lunch I threw in the towel for the day and went home to have a bath. Whilst enjoying my bath I was rudely interrupted by a confused looking Frenchman with a massive bag of lightbulbs and electrical fittings, apparently he was here to fix our electrical problems. Sounds like the opening scenes in a dodgy porno, and I was a little concerned...
Thankfully Bridie turned up so I was not alone with him but she had actually come back early because she was broken, a few falls on the same spot on her hip had put her out of action.
That around about sums up todays escapades, one of these days I may even find somewhere to send these blogs out...
