Step 1: Direction Doll2000

I have saved enough, so this winter, it's decided! I reward myself with a little trip to the mountains! Doll2000 direction is a famous ski resort. I travel by bus, the train would have been more comfortable, but it was also more expensive and I want to keep my money so I can go to as many activities as possible: sleigh ride, lift pass, and of course a good raclette!!! And we are off for the holidays!

Step 2: Arrival at the Hotel

I arrive at the station. It's cold but beautiful and the snow is super good for the air! I have to go on foot from the bus stop to my hotel. Luckily I only took three suitcases, the slope is rough, I don´t want to even imagine how it would have been if I came with my usual number of luggage! On the way I see a little boy sledging with his parents. This is so cute! The last time I came to the mountain, I also did some sledding... I was five at this time, so I can not see myself in this scene now. But it seems to be fun. Ah nostalgia! I arrive at the hotel, a beautiful, very large, wooden chalet. I get the key to my room at the reception. I take hardly any time to undo my luggage there, I will have time to do that tonight. For now it is time for the slopes!!!

Step 3: First day on the Track

I leave for the slopes! My package in hand, my suit on and my wonderful ski shoes on, I look forward to get down the slopes!!! I get on a chairlift. It sways a little. My biggest fear is, that I could get stuck up there, feet in the air. We pass over a large crevasse. Don´t look down, don´t look down, don´t... too late. I grab the safety bar with all my strength. But have you ever tried to hold an iron bar with big mittens? Not that easy, huh? In short, I take deep breaths to calm down and try to think of pleasant things. Such as the hot chocolate that I will have tonight. This is a good idea. I get pulled out of my thoughts by my chairlift neighbor, who has obviously noticed my internal debate with myself and who laughs. - Sorry, I'm not weird, eh, it's just that I am little afraid of heights. - I See that. Do not worry, the incidents are really rare, you take more risks by car or plane than by chairlift. - It's very reassuring, thank you. - Haha, this time it's my turn to apologize, I did not mean to scare you. - You are not serious... You know something about chairlifts then? - In some way. I live here in summer and winter, so I do chairlift on a regular basis. And you? You're obviously not from here. - No indeed, I came here to spend my holidays. My name is YOUR NAME. - Jackson. Nice to meet you Miss YOUR NAME. If you need a guide for the area, do not hesitate to call me. He hands me a piece of paper with his number. Then he raises the bar for security and jumps from the front seat to slide down the slopes. I would have screamed if I had not seen that we had arrived at the top. I get off, but in a much less assured movement. I end five meters below, on my buttocks. Fortunately, nobody paid attention, that must happen all the time.

Step 4: After the effort, relaxation

What a day! After my first ski afternoon, I am all achy and full of bruises. I'm really rusty. I fell at least a dozen times and I have a full snow suit now. I return to the hotel to collapse on the bottom of my warm bed. I did not notice much when I arrived earlier, but my room is very cute. Without the luxury it is well decorated and comfortable. The sheets of the fluffy bed and mattress are so soft that it seems like I am on a giant marshmallow. I bundled up in the blankets and I do not dare to go out. On one hand, I am hungry, I really want a fondue, squeegee or any meal with hot cheese in it. In the other hand, I have stewed legs, it's so soft and warm inside and cold outside. I will surely get warm with Jackson... no this is not right YOUR NAME! You spoke to him for what, two minutes? And you already want to invite him into your hotel room, oh well, he is pretty! But it is true, he was cute. I'll call him... or... not. Maybe tomorrow morning... or in the evening... no, it is better to wait two days before actually calling a boy we like, right? Oh, I do not know I fell asleep right in the middle of my internal dialogue with myself. The sheets are so warm around me.

Step 5: Afternoon at the Village

I wake up after a long night's sleep. My stomach growls, it reminds me, that I did not eat anything last night. Never mind, I will make up for it at breakfast. I stay in the hotel cafeteria and take a good hot chocolate and those sweet little Croissants. Then, I will go to the village, it seems that there is a pretty winter market and it is well known in the region. I also discovered that there is a presentation by the local figure skating club. How beautiful these girls are. They do flips and dives, and if I were in their place I would be on my butt for a while. I see Jackson on the other side of the rink. I walked over to him to greet him, but before I have time to say anything, a pretty skater jumps to him and hugs him. Good... ok... he has a girlfriend. Well, I should have known better, a charming fellow like that, and we spoke for just two minutes, I can already hear the conversation - I have a girlfriend her name is Josephine we love us and we're getting married. So I turned around and explore the alleys of the market. Around me, I see a lot of couples. You know this, when you think of something and you start to see it everywhere? Same here. All of a sudden I hear someone calling me. - Miss YOUR NAME? I turn around and there I see him... Jackson... and the blonde woman. - Ah, hello Jackson, I did not see you! (oh my gosh!) - How are you? This is my sister Joannie. - I'm fine, thank you, nice to meet you Joannie (His sister, of course, she´s his sister! Note to myself: Stop making hasty conclusions) - Say YOUR NAME, Jackson asked me a little shy, I know we talked just for a few minutes, but do you want to spend the day with me tomorrow? I would love to invite you... so you could discover the region. - Yes with pleasure! You must know all the interesting places.

Step 6: Romantical Trip

The rest of the day seemed like an eternity. I was so looking forward to see Jackson. His sister is nice too. Now can see that they look so similar, I do not know why I thought she was his girlfriend. He picks me up at the hotel. I was so surprise to see a sleigh pulled by a horse, standing in front of the hotel. - And what makes you think I'll get into your vehicle of death? - Well, Miss YOUR NAME, there are no roads where we go. The only way to go there, is that sleigh. I ride in the beautiful sleigh, the interior is covered with false fur that is very soft, so I do not risk catching a cold. We go on the tour, to the heights, through the snow-covered pine forest. We finally arrive at a small cottage, covered with snow. - This is where our journey ends! This is my house. - This chalet is yours? - Yes it is. It needs some renovations. I would like to open some guest rooms, as an experience in the heart of the mountains, away from the tourist. You're right, the place is beautiful! I really like being in the wilderness, we do not see any trace of civilization! Jackson prepared a lovely picnic, in the middle of the snow. He made us a table and chairs with wooden boxes, it's so cute! After dinner, we spend the afternoon with fun. A walk in the forest, a battle of snowballs and even a competition of the finest snowman! I argue that Jackson should have won, his man was a thousand times more beautiful than mine, but he insisted on the fact that mine was more original. He´s nice and so funny!

Step 7: Evening at the Chalet

Night falls relatively quickly, after all, it is winter. Jackson ask me if I want to get back to the hotel, or then spend the night at the chalet. I really want to explore the interior of this lovely building, and I accept his proposal, under the condition that he lets me help in the kitchen. I really want to show him that I too can do some small dishes. After getting the horse back into the nice little adjoining stables, we enter the cabin. The interior is as charming as the outside, Jackson did a very nice job of renovation. The living room is almost finished, but the other rooms are under construction. One of the bathrooms is functional so you can use it. We both sat in the kitchen. While Jackson is preparing a dish, I take care of the dessert. I will make him my famous hot chocolate, I got the recipe from my grandmother Augustine and she even got it from her grandmother Amelia. In short, an ancient recipe tested by several generations. After dinner we spend most of the evening chatting by the fire, we have lots in common: he loves peanuts, I like peanuts. It's magic. He promised to take me to see the stars the next day if I want to, it's a shame that the clouds that make the snow fall outside, prevent us from seeing them tonight.
