Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Yesterday I had a bit of a baking day!! I made five different kinds including american chocolate muffins and a butter almond cake oh yeah!! It was great getting to know my way around the baking kitchen which is on the ground floor next to my room pretty much so it's very handy. I've also now learnt the daily cleaning routine so I'm feeling a bit more settled and like I know what I'm doing finally!!

Avoriaz was just amazing today, a good 2 foot of fresh powder to play in. I met up with the lovely Alice and we took a jaunt around as many runs as we could fit in. We headed up Prodains and took the Verare and bombed down to the Grandes Combes on a red, oh yes! I don't normally go down red's because, well quite frankly they scare me. In the powder was a different experience and a very fun one! We got this lift and headed off on the Lac-Intrets blue's which were tough. It was hard work in the thick of it up there, snow hammering down and whiping us in the face. Alice learnt a very valuable lesson in never forgetting your buff when it's snowing OOPS! We went all the way down to the Ardent on some more lovely blue's (if you can believe it!!) then headed up the Prolays and suddenly realised it was time for us to get back. Good thing by then we'd pretty much got our barings and we got back down in good time!

I also had a dummy run of an evening service with friend's of the chef here so I'm getting proper nervous now EEEEP! Tomorrow I have a seasonaires night out to go to, looking forward to meeting lot's of new faces!
