Still Icy

Second ski trip this time to Corcheval with the Ware Skiers.

Corcheval is very posh in places with Gucci and that sort of shops all over the place. We stay way out of town, up hill, by the slopes for a fast-ish (9am in the boot room, when the body was willing) getaway in the mornings.
Being far from town we didn't do too much going out but the wine and dinner and the hotel bar were just fine.

The skiing was very icy caused a few crash including me twice, once fast on a steep slope and once slow on a rough bit of a boarder cross run. There hadn't been any new snow for a couple of weeks and the weather the whole time was cold and clear. good for the sun tan not so good for the snow conditions. Fortunately the base snow was good so the going was still doable for the whole week.

I really need to wax my skis now before the third trip :-)
