Snow. Sunshine. Mountains. Forests covered in snow. Full Moon. Parties with no afterparties. Fun. Snowboarding. Laughing. Socialising. Ok ok you got me. Yes, I am doing a ski season in the Alps.
It's been more than a month that I'm in this tiny little ski resort.After skipping cold winters in Europe I decided that I miss that beautiful snow and having fun with it. So here I am.
I work in a beautiful Chalet and I'm doing the easiest job-hosting people who come here for holidays. Job is easy, life is really easy too. I get a chance to snowboard everyday (apart from Saturdays, big working day!), I get accommodation, my food, little salary, what else do I need? Ha!
It doesn't feel really french here. Everybody speaks English so you MUST be very motivated yourself for learning french. It's kind of living in a little bubble with not many problems and a lot of fun. Sometimes it is good to live like that. For a while, I guess. Or longer :)
Snow is here and when you are up in the mountains where all you can see is mountains covered in snow and your feet ready to get going on your board it really feels special. The air is clean, the space is huuuge. You really become one with your board, you start flying in your own rhythm together with nature in front of these beautiful mountains.
I feel like snowboarding will teach me a lot and I can't wait to go on my board again and again...
And then...just after writing this another day some little accident happened. I was in love with speed and it just happened that I fell off my board and tore/stretched my foot ligaments.
Now in front of me is a week off work, trying to recover, a month (according to the doctor) without snowboarding. O dear! Life is still good though because deep inside I feel that I will be back on the board earlier than expected. Positive vibrations :)
I wish you all exciting adventures, isn't it what it is all about?
Merry snow!
