Return to Val Thorens

2 Weeks back I went skiing in Val Thorens.
It was a great trip, so warm it felt like a summer holiday! Although the snow was very icy in the morning, which made it tricky, and hard to land on - in fact, I felt I better get a helmet for the first time, as I also moved up to Confirmed level, which was not as tough as I thought, although pretty fast, and my legs were always sore!
In the afternoon, the snow melted and turned slushy, which was also some tricky skiing.
I probably took less photos on this trip than any other ski trip, but here are some scenery pics.




 The snow park - the one day we were going to go do this, it turned out to be closed - I was a bit releived, saved some wear and tear on my knees!




 I hate trying to keep my eyes open for photos in bright snowy areas


 You can just see a cable in this photo - that is a zip wire stretching between 2 mountains, with a km drop in the middle - we were going to perhas do it, but never got round to it in the end.

That zip line would have been fun. I must get off my ass and come skiing one of these days.
