If you’d told me three months ago I would voluntarily venture out in over 4 feet of snow, at night, in a snowstorm - to walk around for no particular reason - I would have told you that you were crazy.

Turns out, it’s a lot of fun.

Last week Adam and I ventured out with 23 of my workmates to Les Paccots, a small skiing village about 1.5 hours outside of Geneva. The group left work around 5 pm and caravan-ed up to the mountain top. The weather forecast called for snow that evening and mother nature delivered!

Once there, we bundled ourselves up appropriately and strapped on our snowshoes. (If you check out our pictures you’ll see that this isn’t a particularly sexy look.) We hiked about an hour up the mountain to the chalet, where we stopped for a delicious dinner of (what else) fondue!!

After stuffing ourselves silly (ok and maybe the wine helped a bit too), we hiked back down the mountain, turned in our gear and headed back to Geneva.

It certainly was quiet around work the next day…
