Three Valley's for Christmas holiday

Three Valleys for the Holiday
Hey, just booked hotel in Brides for Sat thru Wed. Never been in that area before, gonna check it out. I've got a sore ankle from a bike accident a couple of months ago so want to do some piste crusin, see how it holds out, build a little strength for later season. If someone's in the area and wants to cruise or catch a beer let me know.

its a boring 30 min gondola ride to meribel, done it last year. but its worth it when you get there

there is not much to do in Brides either, hope your hotel has some entertainment on

Yup, Brides is a little to quiet, but the little pub in town is OK for a beer and a quick dinner. Easy drive up to Meribel for a good selection of restaurants, just can't drink the entire bottle of wine, lol.
Didn't mind the lift in the morning, always alone in the gondola so a good time to get your gear and backpack squared away, boots buckled up, sunglasses/goggles cleaned, ipod and helmet hooked up, etc etc ready to hit it when the doors open in Meribel.
I do wish the lift ran later than 5pm so you could hang out up on the hill for a little apres or even dinner instead of having to rush back down the valley though. But then again, it's easy to see it's not a high traffic lift like the one from the La Chable train station up to Verbier
