It was so surreal having her meeting my colleagues in the hotel and for us to ski together again after last year's ski antics.
Unfortunately Beck and I accidentally found ourselves on a very very black run (some might say Denzel Washington black) which was okay for me but not so much for Beck who has only ever skied for two weeks before. Ever.
This black run is renowned throughout the Espace Killy because it is the Men's Olympic downhill ski course. Unfortunately due to it's serious difficulty it is no longer the ski course... am I painting a picture of the difficulty of this piste yet?
It took us about 1.5 hours and at least 10 tumbles for Beck before we reached the bottom. I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to restore Beck's confidence in her skiing ability and will have to hope that the experience wasn't sufficiently disastrous that she no longer wants to ski. As an upside, her blue runs wont't be as challenging anymore.
Tonight is my night off so I a, thinking I am going to have to have a bit of a big one. Last night we had pub trivia which is always fun, though I was well-behaved and didn't drink so it won't be too bad to have a few cheeky ones now. Last night at trivia we had lots of fun and, although we only came fifth, we won best team name, which was a bit of an 'in joke' but it was Quiz Trow - a play on one of the owner's of the bar's names.

Still loving working at my hotel and starting to get very excited for New Year's which is set to be good fun. It is fancy dress again so I am thinking a sailor's outfit couldn't go too far astray.
