First ski

The lifts opened today and we were all out in force.  The snow was quite hard but softened up in the sun.  There are about 16 pistes open on Rochebrune and Mont D'Arbois and some on Jaillet, but we have not been there yet.  We have five total beginners (one in a board so he was struggling )  and one who has skied one week some years ago.  They all did brilliantly.  The three boys were skiing the Grand Champs after about an hour on the nursery slopes.  All the skiers managed the button lift.  It was very rewarding to see them coming on so quickly and enjoying themselves.  

Megeve is in full holiday mood.  There are lots of people in town and no room in our apartment block's car park!
