John and I flew from Birmingham to join Nige at his apartment in Avoriaz for a few days skiing and being lads at large about the place. Missing the connection at Geneva left us in the bar for four hours longer than planned though. Oops - that'll be another beer then?
John hadn't skied before and so had a morning lesson on our first day while Nige and I would go and hit a few reds - or so I thought - doh! After scaring me witless I realised that I hadn't completely forgotten how to ski and, as the week progressed, and with coaching from Nige, it came started to come back! By the end of the week the three of us had not only skied the World Cup course, but also showed the locals who was boss in the board park (that would be Mr Woodhall!) We also attempted to drink the resort's entire stock of Pastis. That'll be a good trip then!
Amazing what a little coaching can achieve...
