THE Chalet!

The one-piece on tour....
The GrandMaster shrugged off the cape and mask for a week and donned the one-piece. And where better to take the one-piece than the French Alps. Morzine to be exact, just an hour drive from Geneva, but on the French side of the Alps. And what a week it was.
The chalet we had booked was quite superb, this is not a bad pic (which I couldn't add here, so have posted it separately above as a teaser - check it out). It was a tough life coming back from a day on the slopes, jumping straight into the outdoor spa, waiting to be called for our three-course banquet. Of course, someone's got to do it!
Now we had to build up a hunger for these three-course meals and we certainly did this on the slopes. Most of the crew were out on snowboards, but when wearing a one-piece, you must do as the one-pieces do. And that means ski.
We had absolutely amazing snow - the stuff over here is so powdery. And we certainly had a lot of it - the couple who ran our chalet said it was the best snow they had seen in the 5 or so years they had been there. I don't know if I will ever enjoy NZ slopes again.
Incredibly though, the one-piece didn't stick out as much as you would think - but then again, there is no accounting for the tastes of those europeans. Here are a couple of choice pics of the one-piece in action....
Of course, when looking so stylish, it is always easy to make new friends on the slopes. We even managed to get this frosty friend back to the pad, but unfortunately he lost his head....
