January 2006 - Just returned from a brilliant ski trip to Val Gardena, Italy. The views were fantastic as was the company, people from home group and various others! I managed to only fall over 2 and a half times which is an indication I have improved a bit. Saying that, it could only ever get better from the mess I was last year on the ice fields of Serre Chevalier! I partook of a little Apres Ski, watched the world go by from a few piste-side cafes, ate some goulash-soup, learned a new game that involved dice but I was so tired I am not really sure what it was about, found a tunnel in a square with no "official" exit and made some new friends!
