Join the club. :mrgreen:

Sounds like you had a fine time.

It's only a slope.

I have the obligatory panda tan thanks Bandit. Unfortunately, I now feel the need to wear a t-shirt saying "I've been skiing" to explain to those not in the know :roll:.

I did think I'd encounter slush but I didn't think it'd be as bad as it was. It was a bit rock and a hard place though seeing as the later the better. It's definitely earlier next year and, who knows, one day I might learn to like the slush :D

On an informative note - it was obviously busy being easter, particularly at the top of La Daille area where Val D'Isere meets Tignes. However, the lifts were superb, I don't think I queued for more than five minutes at any lift. Good work :thumbup:

I'm afraid that I've come back with a distinct lack of photos to show, I've only got a couple that aren't of the group. My computer's playing silly buggers at the moment so I'll upload them later.

Goggle tans are seriously cool when you are away but as soon as you get back they are just plain confusing to anyone who doesn't know. I had a seasons worth (naturally quite white but tan LOADS) and had to explain to almost everyone I know why it looked like I was wearing foundation.

Glad you had a good time Caron.

Thats brilliant Caron, well done you. Sounds as though your knee must have remained strong, in spite of the heavy porrage. That bodes well for when you get back on to good snow.

It also is a tribute to all your hard physio and strength work ~ you will need to do another year of strength stuff!
