Newbie off to Alpe d'Huez
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 3 Replies
Hi all, just introducing myself! My husband, 7 year old son and 20 month old son are off to Alpe d'Huez on 23 December and I've been bricking myself due to the lack of snow! You can imagine my relief yesterday when it started falling in earnest - let's hope it stays this time. I class myself as a "good intermediate" (on skis of course) and will attack most things - apart from steep blacks - with something akin to confidence. My skis are a bit old fashioned by today's standards, they're Volkl ones with nicks cut in one side of the metal for extra flex. They suit me fine but maybe it's time for an update. Good luck to all those heading off early season and hope the snow holds! :D
