A fabulous last day

As today was my last skiing day, I was more interested in doing as many runs as possible, rather than trying to better my skiing technique  🙂

We had, had a light dusting of snow over night and now it was a lovely bright sunny day 🙂

So we started the day skiing with Ian, Graham and Elle over on the chevannes

After a great few hours we headed over to Mont Cherry to meet our other friends Anthony and Kay.

A few runs later we dropped into La Grande Ourse where we enjoyed a fabulous lunch.

We left in rather a hurry though when I suddenly realised the lift would be shutting in 15 mins and I so wanted to do a few more ski runs 🙂

It was a truly fabulous day spent with great people.

For the first time ever I have had really comfortable ski boots and much to my delight Thierry at Nevada sports made me an offer I could not refuse, so now I have my own ski boots all ready for next year 🙂

Skiing in Les Gets

Mont Chery

Today as its getting to the end of my holidays, we decided to go and try the ski runs on Mont Chery.

They were far better than we expected but still no where near as good as they should be 🙁

Ski time !

As its now much colder here in Les Gets

The snow canons can be used, which has made it a little better for skiing

Also Anthony our friend from the uk has arrived in Les Gets.

So today we were out skiing

Although in some places the runs are still like sheets of ice 🙁

Which are very hard as I found out when I took a tumble !

But as I had my own personal ski instructor I learnt a lot today 🙂

Hopefully I will put it all into practice over the next 2 days

Now we just wait for the Arrival of Kay on Sunday 🙂

Snow shoe walking

As I am reluctant to spent 28 euro’s on a 4 hour lift pass, to ski on Ice , which I just don’t enjoy 🙁

We decided today we would go snow shoe walking instead, something I really do enjoy 🙂

Our plan was to walk up to La Rosset’taz , our favorite place for a chocolate chaud

It was a 3.2 mile climb up to the top and a great 5440 ft

The scenery and cloudy skies were fantastic.

A very enjoyable afternoon and far nicer than the skiing

Snowshoe walking in Les Gets

 

A slipping good time

After a few hours of good skiing on bad snow we decided to call it a day and do some walking.

We thought it would be fun to walk up to Mont Chery and visit la Grande Ourse.

Unfortunately we went without snow shoes.

On the way down we came across a very icy patch.

I slipped and thought I was never going to stop sliding as the edge just got closer and closer 🙁

Next time…   Snow shoes !!
