After the first three days i was practically in a wheel chair. That third night i slept 11.5 hours straight. Anyways, still in deep La grave avoidance mode, i drove up North to the village of La
Clusaz in Massif de la Aravis (a very well kept secret, absolutely stunning scenery and very authentic ), where didi from snowlegend has a beautiful big chalet. I crashed at his for a few nights and did some great skiing, all with his guiding. Getting my ski legs togther was prooving quite expensive, but best to get the season off to a good start! here goes
Meet Nicola.
Mrs. M. Blanc, from col de Aravis
50 year old bottle of white wine!!
Meet Didi, the true Snow legend. Ex French Alpine Ski world cup team, ex Champion mogul skier, ex telemark champ, snowboarder, oh, and apparently pretty wicked with a surfboard.
Moonlight skiing! i thought we were going to climb a beautiful deserted mountain under the shadow of moonlight! turned out we were going up a skilift and going from bar to bar down a crowded piste- oh well, we made do. Halfpipe was fun too!:-)
happy campers after some lovely skiing and great company, even if i hardly understood a word!
