Ski at Villeneave


It is the Christmas day! Merry Christmas.

As we knew that they were some ski places in Serre Chevalier that are free of charges, like Villeneuve and Le Monêtier les Bains, since Villeneuve is nearer to us so we decided to go to Villeneuve to exercise our ski skill that learned yesterday.

When we found the place, it is great with a free hand tow that can take us up a small hill near a cable car station. The cable car will charges and takes the skipper to a higher point. For the small tow hill, it is not so wide with two sides of small cliffs.

Before we went to ski, we visited a new skisets shop nearby -Regis, where we borrowed some newer skisets --Ski sticks, helmet, boots and ski.

We felt fun to ski down the hill, especially Ray, he could leave our hands, ski steadily down the hill and stop himself. As for Shuan, she was afraid that needed our help or just ski and fall down quickly.

Most of the time, YL helped the children to ski. I took pictures or brought the kids to the car because Syuan felt very cold while she did not ski. When I ski after YL returned, while running down the hill, I felt stiff on my body and blank in my mind afraid of running into the cliffs, I fall down to the floor twice but at last I landed safely on the bottom of the hill at the third trials.

It was a super Merry Christmas Day for us!!!
