26th January 2008 - Les Arc's Fun

Today was yet another fab day in Les Arcs.

Jenny & Simon both took lessons and we skied over to Acr 2000, 1950 and back down to 1600. There are some very nice runs just above 1600 which we had not skied. Simon's knee held up well and Jenny enjoyed her 2 hr lesson even though she had painful shins.

We then met Si & Jen for a spot of lunch. Fifi and i shared an amazing Pizza and Si & Jen shared a plate of local cheeses which was easily enough for 3 people. We have always thought that Arc 1600 is an ugly place, and certainly it lacks the visual charm of 1650, but it has some great walkways and is a massive sun trap. If our lunch is anything to go by, it also has some great restaurants.

We are beginning to notice a few bare patches on the slopes in the morning ans certainly the pistes have become a little hard in places. They were making snow this morning in Arc 1600. There is limited snow forecaste for next week, but we could do with a sizable dump of the white stuff soon. The picture below is from our lounge and shows how different the vista is from just a week ago.
