morzine - january 2003

This trip was with Mike, Lyn, Nicky, Tamsin, Matt & Merv.

This was my second ski trip and my ability was getting to that dangerous level - when you're just getting fast enough to hurt yourself properly. Matt & Merv were also at the same level, which made it triple dangerous. As I recall it was Mike who ended up worse off, when we made him ski into a tree.

This was also the week of the sledge. Video is at the bottom of the page.

Lyn: I'd like to point out that I had nothing to do with the tree incident - blame Melvin.

The group on some slope somewhere, with just one person who can't get the right way round.

Lake Montriond, complete with a cross country skier. The view just speaks for itself.

Merv's unique hat turned out to be not so unique. He's pictured here with his new hat buddy.

Playing pool in town. I'm told that Tamz always pulls that face when she's got a Skilton growing out of her hip.

Beth, Merv and Tamsin on the slowest lift in the world. Or did it just feel like it because the wind was so cold?
