The Best Part About New Year’s Eve …

was being able to enjoy the free flowing vin chaud while watching all the instructors from école du ski français ski or snowboard down one of the mountains carrying torches.

Here’s what I managed to capture on my pathetic little digicam:

Blazing down…

Snaking down…

Arriving at the bottom

None of the above does the event any justice but I promise it was pretty exciting to watch the little glimmer of light at the top of the mountain grow longer and more dazzling as more and more skiers joined the parade.

I have no idea how they all got to the bottom in one piece with so little light, since a lot of them had their torches blown out by the end. I wonder how many of them fell in between. Probably none at all.
