Val Thorens

Fred enjoying the view.

It’s winter break and we are at Val Thorens in the Alps.  It only took one day on the bunny hill with Mister K for George to learn how to snowboard. Everyone can snowboard now, except for me. The thought of both feet strapped in and immobilized on a board does not appeal to me. I’ll stick with skiing, inelegant though I may be. Lots of Dutch, Swedes, and Russians here right now. There is some snow in town, but not a lot. Kind of sad, to have so little snow in mid-February at 2300 m. It’s a good thing we didn’t go to a town lower down. The best sight so far, other than the boys snowboarding and sledding on their boards, is beehives at 3000m.
