it was blissful in Saint Lary today !!!
i must confess the season wasn't really great this year, so after the iciest and hardest slopes i had ever had (so far) we eventually got a bit nice snow.
some awesome powder !!
so fine !!..
yeah, it was an absolute bliss !

and it was also good to be a girl today :
since my mother took my board last time and she set the binding the wrong way for me (but the good for her.. don't you dare thinking she's stupid !!), it took me about 3/4 of an hour to set it my way again (try and set, then try again and set again..)
there i started to chat with the guy posted to the lift and since i had a nice smile, he would let me go first every time i should have queued up. i even got a free snowboard lesson with his friend, and discover that if you make friend with one person at the bottom of a lift, you also make friend with all the other people at the bottom of the other lifts, as well as those working in all the cafés/restaurants of the station (which means no queuing and free food and coffee !)

in short, sometimes i love being a girl with a nice smile !!.. it can be very useful !

(by the way, "type 45" in France is the kind of refined plain flour used to make cakes -but not bread, and the snow was fine enough to be compared with it today...)
