Sun 31st
Unfortunately the forecast rain below 1200m
and wet snow above this materialised. It rained all day and through the night
with only one period of respite when I topped up our water tank and emptied the
waste etc… We did don our waterproofs and go for a walk over to Intermarche to
buy a sticky cake. Yum.
We watched a bit of tv in the evening
before retiring to bed exhausted from so much enforced relaxation J
Mon 1st Feb
No rain! So ski kit on we headed up on the
funiculaire above the valley cloud into some welcome sunshine. Although it was
unseasonably warm the snow was much improved. We avoided the crowds and had a
great playday in the snow above Arc 1800. The snow was very soft low down but
very skiable with our nice new skis! Tina looked very stylish and comfortable
on hers putting in lots of very controlled, neat turns.
2 pints of hot choc!

We returned to the van tired but very
content with our day’s fun. We were both pooped, so lights out at 10pm.
Mountain air + sunshine + snow = tiredness.
