Given that I'm lazy and don't feel like writting my life story, I've neglected to write about my last couple weeks, so here's sum-up:

March 17: Les Crossets

It was a gorgeous Saturday at the end of the ski season, so I  went for a leasurely day of spring skiing at Les Crossets.  Since the snow was pretty bad, we spent most of our time on the patio of the summit chalet drinking wine...Check out the pics

March 18: Geneva Auto Show

Everyone that likes cars knows the Geneva Auto Show....I went to check out the new cars coming out, including the new Benz C series, the M3 Concept, the Audi S5, and all the lovely concept cars on display...Check out the pics

March 21: Ovronnaz

Winter came back with a vengeance, with an entire week of constant snow-fall, so I had to take a wednesday off and go skiing some crazy powder.  Probably one of the best ski days of my life...knee deep, all day, I've never eaten so much snow cause it kept flying into my face!  Check out the pics

Here's a little video of Ovronnaz...

Every year my lab organizes a ski trip somewhere in Switzerland for a weekend, to do some 'team building' (definition: drink beer and ski with people that you work with).  Since I have exams I was not able to spend the whole week, but I did make it over to the lovely touristy ski town of Zermatt on Sunday night, and skied on Monday.

Being a proper weekend, Sunday night was spent at the bars until  ~3am.  On our way back to the hostel, we somehow thought it would be faster to use my skis instead of walk...this is tricky however when you've only got one ski and no ski boots!  After a huge snow-ball fight we managed to get to bed before the sun came up.

After almost no sleep, I was up at 7:30am, ready for a solid day on the slopes.  I would never do this to go to work, but for skiing it's a pleasure :D.  The last few weeks have been very dry and warm, but it snowed all weekend, and we were surprised by an amazing day of powder on Monday!  There was so much of it we didn't know where to ski first....

Pictures are in the Zermatt photo gallery.

The last few weeks I've been pretty busy with exams, so I haven't had time to do anything special, except of course for taking a few days to go skiing!  Last weekend I was in Super Saint Bernard with Sylvie, and Monday I went to Zermatt to join my collegues on our Lab Ski Trip.  Needless to say the evening before we had a few brews, to get us ready for the next day...that'll be described in the next post.
