So the weather today was absolute rubbish. I can put up with skiiing in slush as long as the weather is nice, as it was earlier on, but today was horrid. I made it to the top of Tougnete this afternoon, and found myself in a blizzard. I just couldn't see more than 50 feet in front of me, and there wasn't enough light to make the contours of the snow apparent. It took me about a half hour to make it down to Meribel - and it's only 1000m of drop. I was very worried that I would wander off the trail, or that I would wind up going into St. Martin and then the lifts would be shut. Anyway, the skiing and weather were bad today - so no pictures.

I've just come back from a lovely dinner with the hosts of edelski.com, what a treat that was. These guys have a definite handle on how to prepare and present your meal. You know, I've been eating quite well this week, and this is one of the best meals I've had. Lots of wine, a wonderful pudding (Brit for dessert) and beautiful presentation really make it out. It was a great way to spend about three hours - which is normal for dinner in France.

Anyway, I'm knackered, and I have to be up for breakfast at 8:30. If the weather is nice, we'll go up for a fourth day. If it isn't, then we'll just drive to Geneve early and poke around a bit.

Au revoir!
