We were lucky with the weather this last week end. It had snowed 30 cms during the night. We went to a ski race in the Alps at La Clusaz in the Confins on Saturday. I went skiing while Sam was already "working" and came back just in time to watch the race (some of the national french team athletes competing such as Gaillard, Vittoz and Jonnier doing their last race in France before the Olympic Games).
Sam started writing articles for the local paper where we grew up in 1997. He's at the point now where he only writes when he feels like it and on subjects that he enjoys . So it's either art or nordic ski races!
Sam and Romain Vandel (from le Jura. part of the "Dream Team"... will explain another time!)
"...Based in the Aravis mountain range La Clusaz (originally from the word cluse - meaning a narrow path between two mountains) was once called Clusa Locus Dei meaning God's narrow place - according to Wikipedia. An old village, La Clusaz has been hosting winter sports since 1907. It is the birthplace of famous French skier Vincent Vittoz ..."(who was at the race on Saturday).
