Weather was poor today, had to head lower down to les menuires skiing was much better. Went mid station level in val thorens in the morning and vis was less than 50m, and snowing. Bit different to the weather this week so far

Finished early today as flat light was making things hard. Forecast snow tomorrow so will have to grin and bear it for last day!

Those heading next week will have great time

It is certainly on its way. Woken up this morning to cloud and mist. Vis looks poor today.

Off topic again boys!!

Just finished 10€ bowl onion.soup again....no wonder my feet smell of onions
Anyway, boots ok now, took them down a black just now that had me gritting my teeth....then the j2 words came into my head

Relax, let the edges and the ski do the hard work. It works!!! It really does

Cheers guys!!

On a serious note, did you actually go away on your own? Who did you ski with during the day? I have skied quite a lot this week in my own and don't do runs as hard as I would usually in case something happens? Am I alone in this?

I would get bored at night...

Tired tonight, not much going on, that's why I am making a longer appearance than usual.

Bye until tomorrow

Back off topic. Cheese toasty, fries was 11€ today. Just pay the price and accept it. I don't go on holiday to save money - thank god!!

Anyway, boots are good. Found a new muscle that aches tonight!

Officially half way through the holiday, clean socks and base layer tomorrow

Don't fear, am here, just back from guiness/lunch

Weather here in 3v has been great so far. Expecting snow from Thursday/Friday and next wk. Not been to les men, off to meribel again tomorrow.

If only you could see some of the pictures taken, fantastic conditions, those that look nothing like as good through a lens.

I should be a good skier by the end of the week!!

You will have a great week. Get up to the highest point in orelle if it is relatively good vis. Went today was fantastic. Packed powder

Should I shut up now???? :) :)
