Bonjour mes amis! Joyeux Noël! Today, Christmas 2011, Lee, Kendall and I decided to try an adventure in the mountains of Megève with snowshoes. We rode a bus up the mountain where we had a rendez-vous with our guide, Julien. He distributed poles, and fitted each of us with snowshoes. We hiked into the snowy mountains and even mounted some of them. We crossed creeks, and tried to master the technique which Julien kept saying in French, "light and quick steps!" At one point all of us jumped and rolled down hills as stepping didn't work! We met some lovely people in our group from Paris and England. We enjoyed Savoyard fare at the end of the hike. Although having snow in our collars and boots and gloves, we had a wonderful Christmas adventure. Enjoy the pictures!
