Skiing: Val Thorens Wind Direction: breezy Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy then sunny :) Max Speed: Distance Covered:
After moving a bit closer to the lifts we spend a good night in the free
car park with a few more campervans, it did get very windy in the night but
we are used to that after La Franqui windsurfing ! After a quick breakfast
we are the lifts just as they open at nine having only bought a half
day.
Even though it was cloudy to start it was high and you could see very well
and the pistes were perfect !!!! hat off to the piste bashers who turned
the mogel field pistes of yesterday into wonderful flat blasting/turning
pistes :)
After going up on the Caron cable car we were some of the first to go down
the Gentiane and then spent most of the morning making the most of the very
quiet Boismint lift and the Blanchot blue was great :)
With time running out on our lift passes we decided to get as high as
possible and stop for lunch !!! So it’s up the Moutiere across to the
Plateau drag and down to Val Thorens centre to check out the interesting
sounding Cascades lift but that did’nt take us high enough so we shot
back to the Peclet cable car and got there just before our passes ran out
!!! and went to the Glacier De Peclet and found a restaurant with top views
and great food :) We read abit after lunch but despite of the sunshine it
was chilly we headed down the Tete Rond blue past the worlds longest
toboggan track and stopped at another nice restaurant for hot chocolate and
to read our books !!! this was only spoilt a bit by the sun disappearing
behind cloud and the bar playing very load music, well I call it music, it
was just several musicians all playing a different tune – it’s called
Jazz :( We are now tired and are legs are not working right and we are glad
to get back to the van at 3:30 tired but very happy after one of the best
days skiing we have ever had !!!!!
We back the van up and head down the valley for another place to stop and
some white water,we found both :)
