23rd December 2010
Skiing: Samoens-France Wind Direction: Wind Stength: light Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: overcast :( Max Speed: Distance Covered:
With the forecast poor again :( we were not sure if was worth going !!! but
Rob and Hannah were keen to give Flaine ago after checking the webcam and
with the cloud level high they decided to go earlier and get a full
pass.Me,Mag and Dan decided to get our usual 4 hour afternoon pass as the
weathers supposed to be worse tomorrow !!! On the lift up we decided to
show Mag the marvel run at Morillon even though it is closed :( I get to
the top of the Morillon slopes first and then see Mag and Dan below heading
toward Les Molliets !!! not a good start to the day and we don't meet up
again for nearly 2 hours !!!!!!!! I duck under the closed barrier and try
the marvel run which is great most of the way with only a few threadbare
spots and it's great to have the piste all to yourself.It's good to be away
from the crappy,busy,bumpy runs full of dickheads going flatout trying to
run you down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I met up with Mag and Dan at the
Sairon lift in Morillon with tension abit high :( but we do the marvel
again and start to relax and enjoy again :) We stop for a quick picnic,do
the marvel once more and head back.The runs to the lanche were good as was
the Samoens marmotte piste back to the bubble :) Back at the appartment
hear that Rob and Hannahs day was not much better than ours :( alot of the
Flaine lifts are shut and the pistes are crap - very bumpy !!!!!!!!!! but
the good news was they bought a box of top french cakes and we cheered up
over a cup of tea :) The area is now in desperate need of fresh snow and
the area is not good this early in the season as it is mostly too low to
hold the snow with 8 degree temperatures !!!! and sadly it looks like I
will not get to to the 14 k Les Cascades with Sixt still closed :(
Mag and I have come to the conclusion after our second Christmas in a row
of poor conditions and difficult journeys down that it might be time to try
something different - whats Hawaii like at Christmas ???? Sadly we are just
not getting sunshine,blue skies and some nice flat pistes anymore :(
