Day 1
After 27 hours of traveling we finally arrived in Geneva, Switzerland to meet up with Jon at the airport.
Jon and Zack at the Geneva airport after we finally arrived about 5 hours late, due to delays. Luckily Jon was still there waiting for us.
Then we hung out to wait for the bus to Chamonix.
While we waited Sara browsed around in the Swiss Flower Shop at the airport.
Our bus arrived and swooped us off to the wonderful land of Chamonix, France.
Zack and Jon are very excited to be in Chamonix, where outdoor adventuring all began.
We found our way to the nicest 3 star hotel we have ever seen an then went to find a delicious french dinner.
Day 2
Our first day of skiing the French Alps! We went to the nearby ski area of Les Houches (pronounced “lay-zooosh”) where we had some great turns and absolutely amazing views.

We ended the day with a traditional french bagette cheese dinner, some wine, and a sauna session. Then called it a night to get ready for another day of skiing.
Day 3
Today we went for a nice town tour of Chamonix with ski gear in tow and then hit the mountain of Brevent. There were some more great turns, complete with cliffs and daring stunts for the boys.
