La Clusaz, France 24-31 Mar 2004

We spent a week snowboarding/skiing in La Clusaz, France, with Steve and Aline. The weather turned out perfect, with 2 days of snow dumped at the start, then 6 days of beautiful sunny weather. Jacqui skied, the rest of us snowboarded, and we enjoyed a lot of delicious French food.

We also took a couple of short videos which you can see in the La Clusaz Videos section.
