Goodbye Peisay from Team Green Tignes here we come

Final view from the final run

Final day

The weather started fine but soon deteriated to heavy snow, but team
green were determined to make the most of their last day we managed to
find a few news runs we had not done before. Lunch was a quick stop at
a wet picnic bench.

By the end of the day the sun reappeared and we had some fun skiing
between the trees, nigel managed to fall over lots of times!

Big issue Big issue

Day7

It was snowing heavily today so we thought we might get away with a
easy day. Unfortunately we hadn't accounted for Sgt Major Bunston!

Just a quick eight hours on the piste left us looking like snowmen
(women) with legs of jelly

Lots and lots off fresh powder snow took a bit of getting used to but
turned out to be waaaaay rad!!!!

Why do nigels feet not touch the ground?

Day 6

Yet another day of skiing!
The weather was warm and sunny today.
Decided to beat the moguls today instead of the moguls beating me.
(for those who do not know what moguls are they are huge collections
of snow like huge bumps which you have to ski ).

Can I now have a new set of knees please!

Today's lunch venue was a bench with a view.

Homeward bound

Day 5

We had the reverse with the weather today started of cloudy but warm +
1.
The piste was in great condition and we were all soon flying down the
runs around peisey. As the cloud broke we decided to head further a
field and over to arcs 2000. On route the boys had too go shopping as
they had run out of liquor and needed a drink for their legs and it
was not even midday.

Enjoy!

There appears to be a theme appearing with our lunch stops as in what obscure place shall we have lunch? Today's chosen venue was the heated corridor to the public conveniences who knows what tomorrow will bring...

Another good day on the piste, lots of reds, quite a few black runs and it was Lynnes day to fall over (twice ;-) )

The weather was bright with a light dusting of fresh snow which fell
overnight. We decided as the the forecast was mixed to head over to la
plagne and To head high while the weather was sunny. We went up to the
bellecote glacier at 3000 metres the temperature was tropical only
minus 9 however the wind chill made it feel alot colder.

A quick bite to eat in someones back garden provided a bit of shelter
and somewhere to sit down. A couple of quick runs before Rich had to
bail back to belgum leaving team green one down but not dis-heartened.

So tean green carried on without the blue one. The sun disappeared the
cloud came down and the snow came down but we skied on until the last
lift of the day.

Phew what a day ! It was f-f-f-f flipping freezing first thing this
morning. The board said it was minus 25 at 9 Oclock this morning at
the Aiguille rouge (3200m) which for some insane reason was exactly
where we were headed !!!

The views from up there were "totally awesome dude" with a fantastic
view of Mont Blanc but we didn't hang arround too long to admire it as
all our extremities were rapidly freezing (and falling off) so down
one of the longest alpine descents (about two kilometers straight
down . . . ish ! ) to VillaRoger seemed like a good idea.
