| Last day, so made the most of it.
Over to the bits I played on on Wednesday by myself.
Took Stodge down Kamikaze (still cool!), & got to the bottom of Bosses (can't say I skiied it, exactly, but I didn't just side slip down), although I did have a slight bum - snow coming together half way down. Only my second incident of the week, so I win on that one!
Got back in time to take Hols out for one last family run. Snow plough is hard!
What a fantastic week! |

| A day where we didn't go up to Arpette or Roche de Mio - just skiied around Les Coches & over the other side.
Did some nice off-piste bumpy bits & moguls, & took Hols back out, this time Mark had worked out the right way to go & she was on blue all the way! |

| Stodge feeling out of it, so returned from Bellecote for a few hours sleep. I carried on & remembered how much I enjoy skiing by myself.
Had loads of fun playing above Plagne Centre on really nice reds & blues, heading back down Inverness (or whatever it's called) & Crozats. Well annoyed that I had my first fall of the week right at the bottom of the difficult bit just before it eased off.
Took out Hols for the first time up the chairlift. Unfortunately the piste didn't match the map, & her first ever bit if piste skiing proper was down 100m of black (Mur), followed by a treck off piste thru' the trees back onto the blue. We were out for ages, & I'm not sure how much fun anyone really had through the tension! |

| (sick) |
| Lots of stretching & a lazy morning in Les Arolles, & with a nice bruise developing, I headed out for the afternoon.
It seemed to work OK. Did some nice whooshy blues above Belle Plagne Mark had discovered in the morning with Bee & Simon. |

| Cool day out exploring finishing off with Crozats again, & a painful calf! |
Sunday Feb 10 |
 | Skiing 5:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| First downhill skiing for at least 6 years. I was scared about vertigo, Mark was scared about his foot...we were fine. Yey.
Playing around, remembering techniques, & finished off with some tricky reds & even a black (Crozats).
It was great! |
