the next shaun white


yea right
not even close
i have to remind myself he practiced a LOT to get where he is

today i went to the alps
i decided to pay them a visit
we hopped in the car
and in 50 minutes we were among them


i have provided you a map
a map of the resort know as:
----La Clusaz----
one of the most beautiful ski resorts in france
f.y.i ---> i did attempt many runs

can you tell we love p.i.n.k.
meet cayatana she is 7
when snapping this photo, we were @ the lowest run
(in my opinion..... we still look high up)

and on the lift we have bosco (also 7) & angel (the papa)

so here we were
in the alps
it was a decent day
40 degrees at first
but then it started to **snow**
and **snow**
and **snow**
and **snow**
some more
i appologize utah, but the alps kick your {but}
----by size
----by beauty
----by everything
the lifts were never ending
they went higher than i could see the end of
{below} one of the many restauraunts high up in the mountains

as we rode the lifts, we passed over:
restaurants
lodges
coffee shops
and even a clinic
i found this funny because since the mountains are so GIGANTIC
they have so many stopping places for on your way down

by the end of the afternoon we were pooped
i was exhausted
::some falls::
::some bumps::
::some bruises::
and i am positive some people yelled at me in FRENCH
because there i was.... that crazy american girl
{snowboarding}
and because of my lack of experience, i had no control when I cut people off
i became a pro at the phrase
"pardon, je regrette!"
{translation} ----> please excuse me, i'm sorry
but overall
best day
e.v.e.r
and i know all my friends from home are jealous

me smiling after we were done
because so far---->
i am l.o.v.i.n.g. my experience
from switzerland with love
xoxo
P.S. because of the weather i feel my pictures don't capture the beauty of
La Clusaz
so here is one from a clear day
and yes
you do ski form those ridges
