Into France we go! Val D'Isere

So after another crazy week at work it was time to do my weekend ritual and go skiing...this time it was with my real good work friends Pedro, Paul, and Michel. We have been planning a little trip for the past few weeks but not until Thursday were we decided on Val D'Isere is about 3 hours southwest of Geneva. We chose Val because it had a mix of nightlife and skiing. We headed out of Friday night from work and arrivved around 9. From our arrival it was ON! We headed to Paul and Pedro's room for a little Polish Vodka and then off to get some food. It was reasonably late so we headed to the local pizzeria and had a few beers and pies. After the eats we jetted to the local hang outs..Les Petit Danois and Dick's Tea Room. Both were filled and we had a good time. The next morning we awoke with marginal headaches to a bluebird day:

The snow was pretty good overall and the day was perfect. Here is a little line:
