Friday 27th December – **** Morillon skiing
A good night apart from Gary boys doing handbrake turns at 1 a.m.!! It is
the most glorious day with blue skies and the beautiful thick snow from
yesterday:) We walked up to the lift pass office and got a 4 hour pass
with insurance + the card (we should have remembered them from earlier in
the year but left them at home!) for 75 euros! We were in the bubble lift
by about 10.10. It is very busy today because I think it is probably the
best day of the week for conditions and the last day’s skiing for most
people who will be leaving to go home tomorrow. We made straight for our
favourite run – The Marvel – it was officially shut but we ignored the
fence and skied this brilliant run 3 times. I went off piste and was up to
my knees as soon as we got there and had to walk out and then half way down
Mag came round the corner and I was picking myself up from a face plant
where I had lost both skis in the snow and was digging them out:) LOL. We
had our lunch sitting on the step of an old barn in the sun. We then went
up and over to Les Carroz – it was a lot quieter over there and the runs
were really good. Paid a visit to Les Molliets on the way back and then
our 4 hours were up so we skied down into the village instead of getting
into the bubble for the return journey – giving us a little while longer
on the snow. This run was officially closed too but we did it anyway and
made a good job of negotiating the various ditches and roads which criss
cross it. There were two little English girls out with their dad and the
youngest, Emmi, about 4 years old, was a little way behind and kept falling
over so Stephen picked her up at least twice. She was really lovely and
thanked him for all his help when we got to the bottom! We are both
exhausted! Returned to the van and drove to the supermarket to get some
cake and then went back to our favourite stop at Sixt, hoping to walk again
tomorrow.
