We had a great New Years Eve here with the guests with a lovely meal and fun atmosphere in the bar afterwards. We left just before midnight as on New Years day we were up, car packed and on the road at 5.30am heading to Tignes.
Ant's Uncle, Aunty and Cousin were on holiday for the week and we wanted to go visit and also ski somewhere new. Arriving at 9.30, with clear blue skies, we were ready for a great ski day ahead. We skied around Val d'isere and Tignes all day, exploring some on piste and off piste, and with it being such a vast area by the end of the day we were shattered.
Here is us all having a hot chocolate in the sunshine.
Since Christmas we have managed to meet up with Ant's friends James and Paige, who are also doing a season in Morzine, and all there friends. It's been great to board with other snowboarders.
The weather this week has been warm in town, but just after New Year we had a lovely snow fall for 2 days up on the mountain. So much so that on Monday we tried to go off piste and soon sunk! The first picture here is where we hiked to, and the exciting view ahead... The second is me after realising it was a little to deep.
Before we came out here we bought our selves some ski and snowboard wax so that we could service our own skis, with a little help from borrowing mums old travel iron! It's so much fun to prepare our kit for the next days adventures.
As we came home tonight it was just starting to rain in town, which can only mean one thing on the mountain for tomorrow...Fresh Powder! Videos to follow...
Bye for now,
Bex
