This year's ski trip to the Alps, probably our last for awhile, took us to Samoens in the area known as the Grand Massif. It was a funny week for weather with a couple of days of really hot sun, a few days of thick fog and a few somewhere in between. In the end, I think we might have had the most fun skiing in the fog as a group. Talk about trust and letting go of that need for control!
We were four families (8 adults and 8 kids) in a large chalet on a working farm. (In the photos I included one of a steaming pile of manure just to emphasize that point.) We had big group dinners every night with large quantities of wine and good cheer, music and movies and board games. Charles broke his wrist on the first run (bad luck Charles) but there were always kids around to play with and he ended up having a good time. Cat didn't get any skiing in after Charles broke his wrist (I think she took about 4 turns) but did get some x-country and hiking in.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for sending us photos of your Samoens ski trip. Hope Charles' wrist is mending well. We did a ski weekend to Owl's Head in the Eastern Townships with close friends up the street. I'll try to get Estan or Les to send you a photo or two. It looks like we had more snow, cold and clearer weather, and fewer casualties!
cheers Jeff Beedell
