Race Day

Today has been another glorious day for skiing. Still loads of snow and not a cloud in the sky. If anything it’s been a little too warm as the snow got a bit soft this afternoon. It’s that time of the holiday when getting out of bed becomes more of a challenge. Not being used... Continue Reading →

Skidoo

It’s now 2130 and we’ve just got back. What an incredible trip and meal. We met our rep who walked us down to near the ski school to wait for our skidoo.

Being the first day it predictably took a long time. The plan to let... Continue Reading →

First day in Claviere, Italy

2am start, could have done without that.  But as it happens the zombie mode I'd slipped into means it's already forgotten. We flew with TUI from Stansted which was all going well. Harrison spotted the prayer room which sparked him to ask what that was for. Rob said, "Well its for religious people who want... Continue Reading →
