Alpe D'Huez 2004 19-26 Dec 2004

We spent the week from Jacqui's Birthday through to Christmas at Alpe D'Huez, skiing & snowboarding in the French Alps. We went with Kamal & Ilze and stayed in a catered chalet for the week. It was great getting back to the snow again, and it was great having a White Christmas!
