I can’t speak for other people, but these are the highlights of Chamonix ski resort as far as I’m concerned.
- Half price beer – I think it was at the Monkey and it may actually have been two-for-one, but it amounts to the same thing, doesn’t it? Was it the Monkey? Do I remember pictures of monkeys on the walls?
- Pictures on the wall of the pub – Maybe it wasn’t monkeys. I distinctly remember life-size photographs of people. The girl was hot. The lad, less so.
- The tree in the middle of a slope – It’s not right in the middle and to be honest, it’s pretty easy to avoid. Nevertheless, despite having a full minute to react because he was only moving at about 2mph, my mate Tim hit it. He thought no-one had noticed, but a friend in a chairlift had a bird’s eye view of the sad debacle.
If you’re actually half-decent at skiing, I believe that Chamonix is also a great destination for a ski holiday.
