Matthew Wood and his friends came to Chalet Margaritka the last weekend in March. Matthew, Kevin and John had all ski’d a fair bit and Martin was as adventurous as the rest of them. (Alas, Andy lost his skiing mojo a tad but we do hope he will get it back; whilst Kevin rediscovered his with a vengeance). Moguls, tours, blacks, off piste the guys really did like a challenge and they really did have a sense of adventure! They didn’t even mind (too much) when we had to walk 500 metres (uphill) along a ridge on the way back from Morgins because they had finally shut the chair upto Pointe de L’Au above Les Crosets due to lack of snow. Yes, we had to walk along the ridge in order to connect with the route down to Les Crosets and home to Avoriaz -check out the video above to get a better flavour of what I’m talking about. There were one or two other places where we needed to take our skis off as well but all in all we did some great skiing across the weekend – Take a look at the pictures below!!
- Somewhere on the way down to Prodains
- Half way down the ‘Coupe du Monde’; turn left at the hut and just keep going….
- Lunch at the ‘Cafe des Sports’, Morgins
- A well earned rest in the warm, Spring like conditions
- A fine place for a break and no ‘KitKats’ to be seen, just chocolat chaud
- A setting some of you may have seen before
- That’s ‘Haut Fort’ in the background
