How to ski on your day off in Val díIsere

The right way
Drive over on Tuesday night. Ski on Wednesday, drive back on Wednesday evening.
The wrong way (or as we will call it the Luke way)
Arrange to pick up girls, arrive late, donÃt pick up skis, Go down to 1650 to pick up other girls only to find that they are still asleep. Wake up girls and finally head off down the mountain. Have in-depth discussion as to which direction Bourg saint Maurice is from Moutiers. Take vote. Lose vote 4-1 turn right. Finally arrive in Val dÃIsere. Go to Ski cocktail to get skis. Get two runs in before going to lunch. After lunch lose entire group over in Tignes and then in the funicular at le Daille. Finish skiing at 2pm, end up in Bananas, drink lots of alcohol, after a couple go down to Morris pub, drink lots of alcohol, meet MazÃs old guests, drink even more alcohol. Get all the girls back into the car and start back home. Stop in Bourg for a burger. Head toward Moutiers. Start bitching to the passengers about being the only sober one in the car. Driving becomes more dangerous as it start snowing harder. Send Maz out to put the chains on the car.
Arrive back at 8.30.
Mental note: next time let someone else driveÃ..
