It was a warm heavy snow this day,
in Contamines-Montjoie we needed to get just a bit higher to prevent the snow sticking, but it was fun regardless, just had to keep sliding to prevent melt stick. Dad gave it a shot too.
Its a pretty collection of groomed circuits to skate ski around.
Tamsin and Matheo in front of the Eglise de notre Dame de la Gorge.
Different day indoors for some Ice Skating.
Heidi performed! showing off some wine fueled rusty, but impressive moves :) great entertainment.
Matheo inspired too. (not wine fueled though)
This was the coldest day by far and only Fabrice and I were keen to go out. I rented a long board this day, which turned out to be a mistake, the powder was too deep to get into on the unfamiliar slopes, especially since is was white out on and off. We made it over to Taverne de Belleville fingers crossed weather would not shut down the lifts while we were on the far side of the mountain range. That would be quite a retrieve !
The adventure started as we climbed into the snow at a low elevation. The mission was to get the truck out of reach of the plough. must be ~20" of snow at 4000 MSL
The we dug our way out slowly. After getting the plough stuck, I decided to use the ole fashioned shovel. Just dug out s parking spot.
We dug the truck out then dug a parking spot and went to find some food. The power had been out most of the day, so only a few people were out and just the Irish bar was open :) Fine by me.
Off early-ish the next morning to go get some fresh powder.
Oh boy looks pretty good eh ? Yeah it was :) 
Quiet too, lucky us. The snow was good all day and the next.
Sunday I met up with Pam, we carved a good few handfuls of runs. 
What fun, great weather, snow scenery and conversation.
My telly tubby outfit is very comfy, I'll be sporting it a while yet.
