The snow just kept on falling which gave great conditions!
February 24, 2013More familiar faces came back in February. This included ‘The Girls’- Alison, Yvette and Angela who were exceptional value last year and who really appreciate our efforts to make everyone feel ‘home from home’ at the chalet. They like to make sure ‘Monsieur’ (chalet host) does not get away with too much as well! They were joined by new people like Helen and Luke – fit as fiddles and they most certainly liked to ski. I might have overdone it a touch with them on the first morning though – hope not?
Paul Boreham, a regular visitor came back for a second time this season – he must like us!! This time he brought his two daughters with him to entertain the Tsar (Alex). And, Sue and her son James visited the chalet for the first time – no doubt the Tsar had a ball over half-term.
I’ve also added a few pictures from my own travels well ‘off the beaten track’ – skiing in a place called Volen about 50 kms north of Moscow!!
-
- A great morning’s skiing. Look at the snow on the trees. Rita and the Tsar (Alex) joined the girls
-
- The old, Savoyard village always looks spectacular after a good snowfall and then the sun comes out.
-
- After a wonderful long run down the blue from the top of the Pleney bubble to the Fys chair in the Nyon sector (in perfect snow conditions) – everyone deserves a coffee or something a little stronger.
-
- Orrr. Such a nice picture – had to include it!! Isn’t the Tsar growing up fast?
-
- Coming out of the cloud – off piste, high above the Lindarets bowl. It was a good morning’s skiing. Well, I think it was!!
-
- Great, fresh snow, wonderful views and we did find a few runs off the ‘beaten track’. Hope you enjoyed as much as I did guys!!
-
- Sue and James Wellman with Jessica and Rebecca Boreham. Looks like Tsar Alex has fallen asleep?
-
- A beautiful shot in the sunshine, at the top of the Ardent Bubble.
-
- You’d think we were miles from anywhere. But, Volen is only 50 kms from Moscow. Sure, it was cold and the runs not too long, but the quality of the snow was fantastic.
-
- We enjoyed Shashlik (Bar-b-q’d meat)cooked on an open fire instead of skiing. You had to make sure you stood close to the fire, other wise you froze.
-
- Alas, they only had those favourite T-bars that everyone loves!!
-
- After Shashlik (and a few vodkas) we all decided to try something different. Yep, suddenly it was like we were in an Aqua Park.
