With my nonexistant skills in French i have dubbed Val Torrens the highest resort in the Alps of France, Mount Du Pain. Its amazing how little i thought about what a week long snow trip would entail.
1) Im unfit as a bitch
2) I had to live with 2 couples ( Chinh+Linda and Binh + Jen ) the agony. Dr Phil Save me!
3) French TV is shit ( CNN being the only english channel and DBZ being the only cartoon dubbed in French we could sort of understand)
4) Me snowboarding for 6 days
5) Snowboard intructor that was a hard ass.
6) Binhs dragonboat team.
As much as a torture that is sounded like i enjoyed myself thoroughly and it was the best snow trip that i have ever been on. The alps have a scenery that has to be witnessed, no photograph or video can really translate the sensation. The biggest lesson to be learnt in snowboarding is to buy PROTECTION/Body Armour, something which i didnt do and i am still regretting it a week and a bit later. Learning to snowboard was rough especially for me as i could ski to a semi competent level, but the bruises, bumps and pain were well worth it.
All in all i can hazard to say i would do i again.
Pics to be posted soon on the phat links ================>
