.... me too.

The only thing we did extra was go to the night skiing which was really good fun. It was on the fairly steep blue at Signal. We found ourselves with young boarders and other Brits! (reminded us of "mad dogs and English men"!)

The snow was perfect and the lighting gave us the best visibility we had for 2 days. The unlit piste to the right was groomed just before the lights went on and enough light spread over to have perfect runs down there too.

Perfect pistes, perfect light and very few people, lots of fun .... not much else to ask for. :D

We book one ski bag on the plane but have a double ski bag so get to take two pairs of skis for the price of one and also fill the bag with shoes/clothing etc. as that doesn't get weighed either.

I'll name no names on who stood me up. But there was only one other group of people in the bar and I went and asked them are you "..." or "...".

I know everyone had a hard time so I'll let them off. If we do manage it another time I'll remind them they owe me one as we waited 45 mins for them (that's a few beers for my husband that he could have been getting free in the hotel!) :lol:

We had perfect views of the two reds Vernettes and Fontfroide from our bedroom which tempted us over the valley. So on the (not very) Scare Chair we went to try them out, and loved them.

Did the Sarenne on Tues 12th with ski school, perfect snow and blue skies - loved it. Went back to do it in one go (as ski school stops you every few minutes) on our last day, Sat 16th but unfortunatly it was closed early in the morning and we had to descend from top of Marmottes II. Unfortunatly didn't get to do the Tunnel though kept seeing it whilst going up on other lifts and did mean to fit it in.

Good news is there are loads more runs and areas for us to do so Ad'H is worth another visit (or two!)

I can't believe it,I told my friends - went to agreed bar....... and got stood up.!! :evil:

Not scary! (but with a little tummy tickle!) :lol:

Just last weekend my back "went". I could barely get out off bed or off a chair (strained scraping ice and snow at home). 4 emergency sessions with a physio and now I am just about back to normal, yippee as I'm off skiing this Sunday. :D

Good luck, I hope you have a similar recovery.

Thanks, looking forward to the best ever conditions at Ad'H and meeting up with some J2skiers durning the week too. Also looking forward to everyones reports of their hols when they get back.
