Snowboarding: Tignes Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: -10 Sea Temperature: Weather: Sun Max Speed: Distance Covered:
First day on the slopes in a year so it was off to the top of the mountain
for an easy ride down a blue and to try and hook up with mates who were
staying in Val D'Isere. A few adjustments to the bindings and every thing
was fine.
Dropped down two runs and made a couple of calls on the mobile only to bump
into them at the next chairlift. They were looking slightly shabby having
started the holiday off in the pub at 3 the previous afternoon. We
explored the valley between Val D and Tignes and were pleasantly surprised
at the lack of queues. The pistes were in excellent condition as there had
been snow for the previous 2 days so most runs were open.
Had to part company at 12 as my girlfriend had finished her lessons and I
was to board with her in the afternoon. We organised to meet each morning
and I headed back to Tignes via my first black run of the holiday called
Trolles. Not too bad but getting a few moguls by then.
Spent the afternoon on the beginners slope with Michelle as she practiced
linking turns. Apres drinks in the bar followed by loads of vin rouge at
the chalet; a good start.
