29th January 2008 - St Foy To Yourself

OK. Here is the deal. You pay 19 Euro's each and get a whole resort to yourself. OK, it's only got 15 runs, but they are all great, with hard off piste blacks, steep reds and smile inducing blues. And they are all empty (well almost). If you like the sound of this, then St Foy is your kind of resort. Three great mountains bars/restaurants offering local food and plenty of drinkies just top the place off.



At the top of the resort, you have breath taking views of Mount Blanc, Val'd'Isere/Tignes and La Rosiere. There are also some magnificent glaciers to be seen. A real top of the world experience. This resort is only 20 minutes away from Val d'Isere but is a complete contrast in every way. Sure, you will have exhausted the runs within a couple of hours, but when you have them almost to yourself, it's worth it.

Fiona was very pleased with the new pair of Nordica ski's that we purchased this morning!! After much deliberation these 160's hit the spot. Fiona is now like a speeding bullet!!

Heather is now almost fully recovered, the stitches come out at the end of the week. Here she is trying to look innocent!!

The sunsets here are beautiful, so here are a few shots for you to enjoy. As with all the images on our blob, simply click the image to see it full size.
