When in Flaine, and Other Ski Related Stories!

I cannot't believe time has passed so quickly. The last time that I was here in Samoens was a year ago, just before Mama T and Papa T left for Asia. Even crazier, it has been two years since I blogged about this magical place! Samoens is just as wonderful, and this year it looked even more Narnia-like due to the crazy, crazy amount of snow that arrived just before we did. 

The pictures speak for themselves, no commentary is needed to describe how beautiful the mountains are. This year, however, the mountains were made even lovelier with the arrival of my girls to share the fun! So, here goes, skiing by numbers.....

3 family members united

4 ski-bums back together 

10,0000 hot chocolate breaks, with a generous dollop of whipped cream

5 days (and counting) of non-stop snow/blizzard 

1 total wipeout (the most elegant kissing of the snow I have ever seen) 

1 million attempts to take a good group photo

6 bottles of wine consumed 

37 patisseries and one bowl of porridge 

1 spontaneous selfie 

3 hours of midnight chats 

1 birthday Skype (Happy birthday Mama Di) 

1 dodgy ankle + 1 dodgy knee + 1 dodgy back = a trio of skiing cripples

11 plates of frites, covered in ketchup and mayo (why do they always taste so much better up the mountain) 

1 stolen ski-pole! 

1 vintage bubble lift 

1 iced-up beard (Winter is coming!) 

3 days of solid laughter, spend with my favourite people in the world! Please can we do it again some time? It really is sno-joke how much I miss you all already.  

Mood- Missing everyone already.
