Yet another early morning start for the Ambition children, this time to race in Villars for the Aiglon College Cup. 

It may sound like I'm complaining but it seemed to be even warmer, perhaps this had something to do with the fact we drove through a lot of rain to get there. We then pulled up (in the rain) to be told 'race cancelled'. This left us with the dilemma of what to do on such a miserable day. Dressed in ski gear and not knowing Villars too well didn't help so we decided to jump in the van back to les Houches, leaving us spoilt for choice on what we could do. Climbing was the first choice, but with Chamonix being the 'mecca' for climbers we found this was  jam packed.  So we had the choice of ice skating or bowling, these options sounded too good to miss out on, so we did both. The ice skating arena was the coldest I've been for the last week, but the kids really enjoyed it. Once we were done at the rink we headed down with the troops to go bowling. Some very strange techniques going on but points built up. One thing that I am glad about was that I managed to beat all the kids, wahhoo.

Lets just hope they are able to run the GS tomorrow.
