Big weekend
So obviously after the heliskiing the stag do carried on drinking late into the night. Much partying. Then Saturday night was La La Land at the patinoire. It’s one of very few club nights that get put on in Chamonix, and end of season party where everyone you’ve ever met can be found. So that was another late night.
Sunday dawned, but I didn’t see it. By the time Sarah and I woke up it was the afternoon. The weather’s still amazing – hot and summery; so we drove down to the lake in Passy to swim and hang about in the sun. The water’s still bloody cold even with a wetsuit on, but it’s good to swim.
So this morning is the day of the first full week of work with no skiing. It’s a little sad to have put away all my ski clothes but the upside is that over the winter I’ve always struggled with finding a good balance between work and skiing. Any day I haven’t been up on the mountain I’ve felt a bit guilty that I’m not making the most of the opportunities here. Now I’ve made the decision to finish skiing I don’t need to feel that anymore.
So to kick myself into summer mode I borrowed Sarah’s mountain bike this morning and cycled into the office from Les Houches. It’s about 5km on a beautiful track which goes through the forest on the North side of the valley. I’m planning to cycle into the office this summer, so today was a bit of a practice. It only took about 30 mins. Now I need to get myself a bike. More kit. Does it ever end?
