Grenoble

After spending a few days at home working at the pub I headed out New Years eve to visited Guy and Damien in Grenoble, in the French Alps. Great skiing, views and city. We spent New Years Eve in Charousse, a ski resort just outside of Grenoble. We spent a couple of days skiing, first in Charousse and the next in the Three Valleys. Very cool.

Guy bailed, and instead of trying to help him I covered him in snow and then took a picture. I am glad to report that he survived.

We were 15 minutes late for the last gondola to give us a lift back to the last hill we needed to take to get back to the car, which was parked at the other side of the mountain. Luckily one of the operators was nice enough the lend a group of us his truck to drive to the other side to get the car, 6 people eventually crammed into the truck while Dam, Guy and a couple of others waited in the village. Two people decided to take a cab to get over and ended up costing them 300 euros! The village was nice but absurdly expensive i.e 9 euros for an irish coffee. After waiting for 5 hours we eventually got back.
