Is there a good alpine airport? Surely we're talking about the least bad here?

Looks like most resorts will see new fronts bringing new snow, in between which you should see some sun. That sounds just about perfect to me!
Is there any shame in.....

Well I got up and was first in the queue for the DMC, got myself up to pic blanc.
Following all advice that the sarene is at best only a stiff red I gave it a go.
Remember I have never done a black before.
Bad move.
At the top there is a narrow section that is only about 3 feet wide. When I saw that, bumpy and steep drops off to the side I was in trouble.
No going back....no going forward.
I gave it a go and fell about 100 feet to the mogul field below. I'm sure I have it on gopro too.
Skis came off, lost poles. But managed to slide safely to a stop.
Some kind fella picked up my kit and chased me down.

I was ok, thought I'd broke my finger but it seems ok.

Skis back on I tackled the moguls down to the glacier chair and took it back to the pic blanc and rode the cable car down, slightly shaken.

More shame. The only one in the cable car coming down. Having to push my way out against the crowd going up.


You'd completed the tricky bit, that entry can be a bit nasty. The first two sections are certainly black if they were mogulled but once you're past those the rest is much easier.

Great run, it turns into a path after about 12km. There are two or three bits that are black, especially if it's not been pisted for a day or two.
After that it's just a glorious cruise.
Fantastic little restaurant towards the end of the path bit, stop for a hot chocolate, you'll have earned it.

I want to watch a programme about skiing, not one about ski racing. That's what Ski Sunday had started to get right.
