We drove off to France with a few friends from our waterski club on thurday afternoon to spend a few days on the snowed slopes. We had a great weekend...
As we all love pictures here, let me show you a few 
Group shot. From left to right: Ellen (the fresh new president of our club), Valerie (our club secretary), Bert (the certified nutcase of the club), Me (certified nutcase number two) and in the front is Yu Chung (Ellen's boyfriend).

With the right kinda beverage... 
Ellen and Valerie 
And back to the top in the lift... 
We all had a blast!! |

Great pics.
There only problem that I see with snow skiing as compared to water skiing is that the girls have to wear way to much clothing. Looks very cool none the less....as long as I don't have to see it in person. john |

Had to bring the boat home and put a trouble light under the motor box. Temps were headed for the low 30's and I didn't wanna take a chance.
Gonna be a blast on the 14th. Wish you were coming. john |

It's just four hours drive. The temps were around freezing point, so it wasn't too bad. It lightly snowed all day on friday. Snow in the morning on saturday and on sunday. So the slopes were very good.
No worries John, they all come off when we hit the sauna back in the chalet...

Jbear-
I had to go one step further and run some anti-freeze through the old girl two weeks ago. We got as low as 23 overnight. Someone told me (not on this, or any other, site) that you did not have to worry about it unless it was below freezing for 36 hours straight, but like you said, did not want to take any chances. I just kept thinking about all those boats in the racks at the marina... |

Kristof, I'm headed to Paris, Niece, bordeaux, and monaco in May. Going on a study abroad trip for 15 days! Don't think were going to be hitting any slopes tho!
