Skiing in Meribel

From Meribel

We are now two days into our ski holiday here in Meribel. Not very adventurous, having been here or in the next valley many times now, but it still has a lot going for it. Not least is the reliably good snow conditions in the Three Valleys. Although it has not snowed here for over two weeks, the condition of the pistes is still excellent thanks to a lot of snow at the beginning of the year, a substantial investment in snow making systems, cold air, and a very efficient pisting crew. The result of all this has been that we have enjoyed some excellent skiing on perfect pistes.
I have also had the pleasure of introducing my travel companions to the delights of Meribel après ski, including the institution of drinking toffee vodkas at the Rond Point. As usual, our fellow chalet guests are a very sociable bunch and the evenings seem to pass very quickly. no time so far for Scrabble or Pass the Pigs!
