Happy New Year Boys and Girls!
Festivities certainly came and went, well still continue but on a more managable scale. Finally after several days got some decent time on the hill yesterday, even after going since christmas without snow we found some nice stashes of good snow with some small hikes and ridge traverses.

But in Verbier a great day on the hill isn't a Great day if you don't follow this by donning shirts, one peices, sledges and enough booze to survive the bus ride then the 45 minuite hike up to the Marmot. This being is a fondu resturant halfway up the hill and has been on my list of things to do for many a year.

 |
| With a bunch of Sweeds, Fins, English, French, a token kiwi, wine, cheese, sledges and one peices, anything is possible... Jeiga fondu anyone? |
After an amaizing night with a 'special' group of people we return to town with stlye, speed, little very little control, minus only one sledge, and obviously full of cheese and a number of shots of jeiga and abricotines... all in pitch darkness.
 |
| How much fondu can you do? hmmm... if someones on hand to provide a heimlich maneuver just in case, a lot more than this apparently! |
