Hello from France

[joust]

Just wanted to say the snow is fantastic here in Courchevel. 1m+ everywhere, and very powdery all over the place by the afternoon.

Another lovely run down on France's finest roads in the X5 - what a fantastic car that really is.

The hotel isn't 'alf bad either

Ahhh. Life is hard. Life is hard.

Apres Ski. We started at 9am on the dot and had done more than enough by the time I posted this for the first day. Sitting in the hotel bar, quaffing G&Ts and surfing on their free WiFi

That'll be an old shape one then or do you have one of the very first new models?

Looking to replace ours for the latest model in May. 4.8 is calling me....

No, I've bought a 2005 X5 3.0d Sport Exclusive Edition, with all the toys in Black with Ecru seats.

Its very nice indeed and has only covered 7250 miles from new.

I finally realised that it was the Chrysler Voyager that was hindering me from meeting my future wife.

Can't wait to pick it up.

The X5 or your future wife

1850 to Le Tania and back via the top at 2300 this afternoon. Excellent snow, masses and masses of powder on the popular pistes and snow better the higer you get.

Col De Loze at 2300 was fantastic on the run back down into 1850.

Whatever you do, make sure you go to the Belle Aire for lunch, above 1650. You'll probably have to book but well worth it! Best mountain restaurant in the Alps!!

Can't believe it beats Le Caveaux in 1550!

It's so good we've been there twice already.

Whats all these fancy mountain restaurants about. It's all about sitting on the floor eating an Americains (said in French accent), ahh the taste of the Aples . And besides the more time sitting in a restaurant the less time skiing.

Ah but
Some of us can eat better than ski !
