9th January 2008 - Taking It Easy In The Snow

Took H for a walk this morning around the Bourg St Maurice nature park. It was very icy but pleasant enough.

After shopping at SuperU and having a coffee, we went to the Mono rail in time to catch the 12:20, giving us an afternoon pass.

We got talking to the lift pass office girl who speaks good English. Turns out she lived in Brighton for many years and still misses the shops!! She also told us about a 10 day lift pack which would drop the day price to 34 Euro.

The snow closed in almost immediately but the visibility was OK. We found a route which takes us back to Arc 1600 all the way from Piesey with only one chair lit. This will be handy when we are running late.

We got back for 16:30. It is raining in the valley but snow is expected down to this level Friday night into Saturday.

Tomorrow is looking fantastic, sun and light winds. If it's correct, then we might spend a day at Le Rosiere and La Thuile.
