New Year's Skiing and the Christmas Catch Up

I'm trying to be a bit more on it with the blog posts- I should be working right now but this feels productive so I'm giving myself that at least...(here's hoping none of my tutors read this!) 

I was home for most of the Christmas holidays in Switzerland, except for a few manic days in England for Christmas eve, day and Boxing day, which can be summed up by slightly strange baking and roasts with my friend Anna and my uni housemates, as I'm sure you'll have seen on my instagram. 

For the first time ever, we managed to organise an actual ski holiday rather that to-ing and fro-ing between Geneva and the mountains. 

We've always gone for good old Les Gets and this year has been no different. Neither, have our packing habits; the car was so full a lucky little Tilly-dog was allowed to sit in the back seat with me, because the boot was rammed with all the 'essentials' my mum insisted on! 

The apartment is more of a modern style rather than your traditional chalet- hence mum's rug and throw explosion to make it homey- it's a natural instinct that she just can't shut down! 

Les Gets is quite low down, so the season only really starts just in time for Christmas. However, there wasn't really enough snow until New Years' week, so we had arrived just in time! The dogs are snow mad, so it also made their trip too. 

So we had mornings spent on the slopes and afternoons snoozing off the excessive amount of food eaten while we were there, topped off with new year's eve at this little restaurant called L'Outa. We were the only English people there, which is rare for Les Gets and reminded us of the community that's still in the village, making it extra-special. 

I'm heading back this month with a few uni friends for a sneaky ski weekend and looking back means I just can't wait!
