Skiingthird time for the season. Maybe that's enough for one season.
This time is was Les Arcs.
We had:
Ice - ouch my hip/knee/head
Bare bits- ouch my skis
Sunny days - SPF50 nice
White outs- always fun
Some powder - weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
It was the first time we managed to get most of us together from University as a skiing group. I've been skiing on different trips with all of them at different times, except Nick.
It would have been a fuller set as Colin was meant to go as well but due to Clare getting injured on another ski trip he had to stay behind. The was a plus side to this as my room was tiny and sharing it would have been hard, but it would have been good to have us all there.
So we had Nick, Russ, Vicky and Mark on snowboards and Nicky, Big Phil and Myself on skis. A good combination and a full range of abilities as it was Nick's first trip. To be fair its not the best resort for beginner broader as its a bit flat so we all did well to get around.
It was a mammoth journey on the Euro star over night to get there made hard work, by the rubbish seats. Don't go on those 4 seats and a table bit, that's just horrible, at least the airline style seats don't mean you have to share leg space.
The accommodation was good, so too the food and we got plenty of pints of the black stuff from the local bar while the 6 nations was on.
I Hope we will do this again in upcoming season and with Col as well.
