Sarah learns the shred

Sarah has snowboarding a few times last season, so this season, she trooped back out again with Simon almost everyday and started linking turns, mad props. You should have seen her bruises on her knees, snowboarding is not for the frail.

The Mexicans learn to Shred

Salim and Israel are two cousins that i go to school with, Salim and I are in the same class and pretty good buddies. They're both from Mexico City and I doubt they had seen snow before a month ago. They were so stoked to learn how to ride, so after class got cancelled, and there was 5 inches in town, we went on a little adventure.
Anna came along for some shredAnna borrowed my coat and took her turnsAll she did was get my nice new coat dirty, and make me smileSalim already looks proThese girls were making a snowoman that had defined lady partsThis is so French, walking home and you run into a protest full of teachers and studentsOn day 2 israel came a long and was an even quicker learner than SalimSeriously.... first daySecond day 180Sending photos home to the fami got my turns too, back1 front 3....to dirteven the chinese kids were stokedmy little worker bees, building a kicker for masterwe're still learning some thingsall smiles

First worthy snow/Mexican night

We've had a few snows here in Chambery, but nothing worth mentioning, only 1cm or so. But recently we woke up to covered rooftops, difficult and soggy walks to school and wonderful walks home in the night. This was also Mexican night at Hilde's where Salim and Isreal our boys from Mexico City, prepared us some real Mexican tacos/fajitas.
So here's a few photos from all of the above.This was the view out the window, my first real French snow

Just so you can see the flakes

Salim about 10 seconds before we found out class was cancelled caus Mme. Bonet couldn't make it through the snow, which led to my next blog post, Salim learns to Snowboard
