We didn't go out boarding on Monday as the snow was coming down so hard it wasn't really worth it. The roads were really clogged up as the ploughs didn't have enough time to clear the snow as it came down - it's a bit of a trek up to our apartment so we decided to stay in and have a relaxing afternoon instead. We didn't mind so much as the forecast for Tuesday (yesterday) was for sunshine so we had decided just to make the most of the good days.
On Monday evening we had a visit from a massage therapist who offers services to the chalet - we got to try one so that we could decide whether we would recommend it to the guests... not bad work hey?! I chose a back massage and asked her to be firm as my shoulders were pretty tight from boarding on Sunday - man, did she go to town! I felt like I was being punished for something I'd done wrong! That said, it did feel good. Dan and Ian both had massage too, judging by their faces when they cam back up it seems that they experienced the same too!
So much for a Bluebird Day...
Tuesday started off looking quite nice so after our morning prep we headed up to Plagne Centre to collect our gear and off we went. As soon as we got to the top of La Grande Rochette it started snowing and the skies went grey... and it pretty much didn't change all afternoon! Visibility was dire, the snow kept smearing our lenses, we got soaked on the lifts and I fell over a lot. All in all, pretty rubbish - but, still quite good fun. We tried a couple of new runs that were't open on Sunday and they were good too - haven't found a run I don't like yet, which is good!
We were supposed to be going skidooing on Tuesday evening but because of the weather that was postponed. So we made red onion and goats cheese tartlets instead! The salmon dish we had for mains was delicious - orange and parsley crust topping, and I made an amazing Hollandaise sauce! Yum!!
November signing out.
