Day 1

    Poor logan had a bad night possibly due to altitude ! although we are 1950mtrs which is not truly thin air or getting near it ( roughly speaking 10000ft or 3000mtrs is when oxygen starts to thin a bit ) we do feel the altitude and air quality pressure difference etc ca have an affect on adults never mind babies ! they don't allow any children under the age of 3 on chair lifts because of altitude differences and we shall put that down to logan being out of character and screaming the block down lol , Ali's face lit up when i gave him a set of ear plugs when we got home from the bars last night .
       it takes a fair bit of faffing around to get all your ski gear layers of clothing snacks phones go pro sports watch extra buffs gloves lip salve creams potions etc organised on your first morning , and thats before we even work out the free bus stop and get to the soles area to collect our ski passes , find our way to the ski hire shop and collect our skis ,we have all opted to try some freestyle skis this year ali usually goes for all terrain skis and the rest of us usually just go for carvers , but cammy reckons he learned a lot wearing freestyle skis (his black crows i chamonaix were beautiful skis )
     It was at least 11 maybe 11:30 before we were in the first bubble car and off up the slopes , theres no stopping the boys once the get going and the very first pleasant run woulda been great to ease into our skiing stretch out and practice our technique ! but no the boys hit it hard as fast as we could go lol , that was to prove a mistake we hit a rally bad narrow stretch of slope that was far too much work for your first hour without a decent practice run .too late though we were already committed as we were heading back to the apartments to drop of our shoes and excess equipment, we are a ski in ski out apartment unfortunately  the ski in is a poor run , we skied out and had some soup at the top of the solaise bubble cars , we have been paying around 7.50 euros a beer and its about 9euros for soup its gonna be an expensive week ,
  the run back into town form there was fantastic perfect snow in beautiful sunshine this is going to be a great resort ,we wanted to have a look at la folie deuche so it was right down and right back up , we found it easily and it was every bit as good as its hyped to be , we had two beers lapping up the fantastic apres ski atmosphere of la folie deuche   . it was a pleasant ski back into town and there was plenty buses it was no time before we were back in town and headed back to la petite danoise for their happy hour , and what a happy hour !! 14euros for 4 proper pints of decent ale we had 3 rounds before it stopped at 5pm , joyce told us 6pm for dinner and we were slightly late but a fantastic dinner  an excellent first day
