Andorra - Feb 2008


For Jason’s birthday the usual crew got together again for a 4 day weekend of snow in Andorra. The weekend consisted of us celebrating in the usual way resulting in little sleep (for probably most of the guest’s in the hotel) and lots of snowboarding / après ski shinanigans.

Smarty had a clever scam to save the €3 ski resort parking charge by sneakily lifting the barrier arm as we were leaving. However I guess the CCTV paid off for the car park in this case as after the next days skiing we found the wheels had been clamped on the car. It took 3 hours of pigeon Spanish from Smarty and I to come to an agreement with the Andorra parking staff and Policia, seemingly happy with a €300 fine. Wonder if we’ll ever learn…..
The trip did finish however with 20cm of fresh snow and the best days boarding most of us had had in years – It was a nice way for Jas to have his birthday and ensured smiles on all our faces for our remaining four days at work while our bodies recovered.

Enjoying the 'free' samples in a local brewary (especially Paula!)
