Tuesday 20th Mar.2012 – Ski and open air swimming *****

Woke up to sunshine and blue skies :) so after breakfast packed a picnic and were at the lifts for 9:15 as they opened! The newly pisted runs were just perfect flat and fast and we set about using every lift in the area!!! This is a top area, fairly quiet with a lot of pretty tree lined runs with nothing overly hard apart from the black Olympic runs from the top of la Croix de Chamrosse at 2250m! We did a little off-piste but mainly stuck to the well groomed piste.We did lose each other a couple of things but found each other before having to use our mobiles ! The run into Chamrosse 1650 to catch the bubble was steep but we made it to the top to take in the fantastic views all round with snowy peaks everywhere !!! There was several doing some extreme off-piste which involved some serious uphill walking!!! Rather them than me!!!! We did the red lacs Robert and back to the top and then I persuaded Mag to have ago at the steep and long black the couoir de casserousse which was narrow and bumpy :( We made it half way and stopped for a picnic in a wonderful spot surrounded by lichen covered rocks by the number 13 piste marker post – lucky for some. We were entertained by expert skiers coming in off-piste from both sides!!! We made it to the bottom of the world’s longest drag lift, the De Casserousse and at the top Mag said her feet hurt and she headed back while I did half of the olypique homes before starting the trip back to the apartment – knackered after being out over 5 hours and covering 25 n/miles. Mag had only just got back so the kettle was on, a quick rest before heading to the pool – this is the life :)
