Skiing in the Alps (Part 2)

We loved Les Houches so much, that we went back for our third and final day.  The weather cooperated nicely and gave us a gorgeous Christmas Day.  

A big thanks to my talented sports photographer and his backward skiing capabilities.

Donovan and I shared a plate of spaghetti and some red wine for Christmas dinner.  Not exactly traditional, but tasty nonetheless!  

A great way to wrap up 2011 and hopefully we'll be able to get in some more good skiing soon!

Skiing in the Alps (Part 1)

For our first day on the slopes, we headed to Argentiere, on the north side of the valley.  The weather was perfect...we were on the shady side of the mountain most of the day but it was still comfortably warm.  Also, it was a nice clear day, so the views from the top were incredible.  Can't beat skiing in the Alps!  Or snowboarding, in my case.

For our second day of playing in the snow, we moved to Les Houches at the opposite end of the valley.  This ski area is home to the famous Kandahar World Cup downhill race.  This year the race will be in the beginning of February, so we may head back to partake in the festivities.
