Christmas x2

Swedish Christmas dinner with Sus, Jo, Beef & Chaz

One of the many good things about having an English boyfriend is that I get to celebrate Christmas twice! In Sweden we celebrate on Christmas-eve and we call it Julafton. We eat lots of good food with family and friends and we open our presents in the evening. 

In the UK it is pretty much the same thing, just swap the ham for a turkey and do the presents and eating in reversed order. 
But I get to do it all back-to-back which is AWESOME!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas too and I wish you a happy new exiting year!

Christmas came early..

I received some cool stuff today.

Thanks to Dr Zipe and the Institute for these awesome gifts!

Stormy weather!

Mother nature is showing her dark side. Yesterday was horrible, very wet and windy. 
It was pretty windy today too, but most lifts were running. The snow was dumping down but because of zero visibility I only stayed up for a couple of hours. 
Tomorrow the whole area will be closed because of stormy weather. The forecast says 30-50 cm of snow tomorrow only, and more throughout the weekend. Crazy days!

First day riding in Avoriaz

The lifts in Avoriaz are running!

I had a great first day on the slopes with my house-mates Sus & Charlie.

Time to get dirty

Sometimes life is not as glamorous as you would want it to be. 
And sometimes you have got to bite the bullet. 
Today I did my first clean of the season, I am now officially a cleaning lady. 

I will be working 2-3 days a week so I will still get lots of fun-time on the mountain. 

It may not be the most fun job the world but the $ will open up doors for new adventures.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It is snowing and Avoriaz is opening on the 10th. Can't wait to go riding!
