More Snow.. Mammoth with the Jarvis

Yay!! Finally a vacation in overworked America.. I tell you these folk have it bad.. very little holiday period and they work much longer hours … lets all adopt the French way of living… I would give anything to run a CleanTech Fund in the middle of Paris.. Parisian macaroons, Chateau Margaux wine and the best of the cheeses.. (I don’t have a weight problem) on a daily basis, not to mention a 35 hour work week and the Louvre and great clothing.. I will be the outlier and shower daily.. I promise..

So as a result of Sarah’s initiative we headed out to my first holiday in the US since arriving to Mammoth Mountain.. for a skiing trip.. I agreed to this with only 8 days of skiing under my belt not thinking much.. but just the fact that I can be outdoors and with some old friends.. and Queen Bea… who as you will see still loves handbags.. a women after my own heart!!! When you become a teenager, and if I don’t have any daughters, I will loan you my entire handbag collection… you will be the coolest gal in high school.. forget the Cheerleaders..

Ryan and Chiara, friends of Zachary joined us for part of the time. He is the guy standing while the rest of us sods are sitting around.. they were great, lovers of meat product which bode well with John and of variable ski expertise which bode well with me.




Mammoth is truly beautiful.. check out the photo of Sarah with the awesome background.. and skiing is comparatively cheaper than Europe.. so head over schi canone (“Ski champion”) Andreja and come visit us.. The slopes (green and blue) for yours truly were great as well until we went down the moguls and I fell ever so often.. but all in fun and as long as I did not break any of my appendages, I was happy.

The food was good too.. Its amazing how many chili fries, hamburgers and hot dogs one can put away during lunch, not to mention dinners with lots of wines.. I had not drunk this much since I left my Londres..

On the last evening, after Queen Bea finally realized that the John was cooler than I, we headed for a spa treatment.. how superbly wonderful.. ..

More photos to follow..


Queen Bea and my Longchamp handbag.. it must be the sheen.. but she truly loves it..
