Great run, it turns into a path after about 12km. There are two or three bits that are black, especially if it's not been pisted for a day or two.
After that it's just a glorious cruise.
Fantastic little restaurant towards the end of the path bit, stop for a hot chocolate, you'll have earned it.

Hi Snapzzz,
I can just imagine how annoying that is, having to take a rest in the middle of an expensive ski holiday!
My legs ached once, walking back up the stairs in the chalet, because I hadn't worked hard enough at my ski exercises before I went. And I was really cross with myself for being so lazy and stupid :evil:
Luckily for me it was only a 3 day ski holiday anyway, so I managed the last day okay and then I told myself that I'd never be so unprepared again. But here I am, 4 days from a 7 day ski holiday, and yet again I know I am not fit enough. I am thinking about putting myself in a lower class, so that my legs can cope. I find it less hard on my legs if I ski slower on the easier slopes. Steeper slopes, moguls, and powder, or ice, I find harder on my legs.
So maybe you need to stick to the easier slopes for a couple of days until your legs have adjusted to the extra work load?
And, have you tried a massage? I never have, but I know other people who find it helps a lot with aching muscles.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and I hope you have a great time :D

Yeah I have to agree.... It is a holiday BUT you can rest all you want on an evening.... Just go steady. But don't carry on if you think you might injure yourself....
Great pics... Looks fantastic. I want to go sooooo bad but can't. So enjoy....

Eat less and exercise more = not waisting your money going on a ski holiday to sit in a bar for the day. :oops:
When in doubt?....Flat out.
