All the photos are extra large! I went to do cross country skiing one day! My first ever time skiing! There wasn't enough snow to do downhill, and it was only in the Ardennes, so the hills weren't terribly high anyway, but I still had a wonderful time!

 |
| Little shoe skates for snow! They were so glidey! Don't I look like a pro! |

Baraque Fraiture was the ski spot. One actual ski slope, a sled slope, and nice tracks for cross-country-ers. about an hour from Villers le Temple. I was so tired afterwords! But then, that night was the super bowl... so...
