Paul, Rob, Michel, (Pedro was sick)and I arrived after work in Cham to find our great hotel...more like a dorm room.
Small but function and a great view in the AM:
After sorting the room out we toured the town and had a few cocktails as boys do ;-) and some Raclette:
...it ended up like this:
The next morning was very difficult but we rallied and headed to Grand Montets. The skiing was not that great but we had a great day. Michel checking the Couloir Poubelle:
...a little icey this am:
The boys:
G:
Great views:
After a nice day of riding we headed down and Michel and Rob were off. It was going to be just P and I, but Pedro called and was on his way. That night was much mellower and we had a great night just talking and chilling.
The next AM we decided we would head to Les Houches and see the World Cup Super Combined. The day was again sunny and warm:
The WC course:
After about 7 laps we decided we would head to go see the final runs of the WC......but OOHHHHNOOOOOOO Pedro is down! The first words....Yo G I think I am hurt!
I ran up to P and saw his arm was not good. Patrol was on the scene within 5 minutes and did a great job...and always I was there to document our times...OUCH!
p getting ready for his sled ride;
Ready to rock!
Ciao!
As P left it looked like a dislocated elbow, but nothing broken so that was cool. The patrol was great and the hospital was too. Overall from injury to out the door took 2 hours....and we were right only a bum elbow. 2 weeks in a sling and some PT after. P was happy!
After the hospital visit we grabbed a budger and headed back to CH...but not with a good bye from Cham!
Overall a cool weekend and P is getting on very well. Looks like he will be back at it very soon. More to come this weekend as K and I head to A-Matt!
PS: Here are a few extras from the photo gallery. X-Mas gifts hung!
Pedro and I at a party...don't ask!
