On the Piste 1

Here are some random pics taken on the slopes.

 I really wish I had a brightly coloired ski jacket, this black one is a bit dull :o(

 Lin


 skiing in the clouds


 Shak - all the French guides loved his name!

 Hard to tell where the ground ends and the sky starts!

 skiing in the snow


 I also wish I had a cool pair of goggles like Lin!


 This was really great to see - a disabled kid going skiing, controlling his ski seat with hand controls, with the guide making sure he didn't launch of a cliff - although he came close!

 ski school!



 a poor attempt at a Myburghian Leap :o(

 Wow well done Shak! It's really hard try to jump in the snow with ski boots on!

 Our ski instructor Thibaux, also known as T-Bone. Although he was more of a guide than an instructor, he just skied around while we followed him mostly.

 Our ski class - interestingly, the French for Improver level is Perfectionment, so I am proud to say I was skiing at Perfectionment level!

Looks so much fun. I really must come with you on your skiing adventures one of these days. But of course, you'd leave me limping in your spray!!
