21st January 2008 - Happy Birthday's

First of all, Happy Birthday to Shauna, who is 18 again today. We will be toasting her health on the slopes in La Plagne today!!

Today was another one of those great ski days. The weather was superb as was the snow. We skied from one side of La Plagne to the other, taking in Champery (the back side of the mountain) where the temperature was like March as was some of the snow. We skied some very nice black moguls and some steep reds and off piste.

Richard took a spectacular tumble on the very icy run back to Monchavin, head first, but nothing too painful to report.

We came back to the apartment and drove up to Arc 1950 where we visited the Irish pub (including Heather). Wow, drinks are exoensive up there, costing 21 euro's for three drinks. People were racing behind horses on a small track in the square. Acr 1950 is very pretty, especially at night.

On the way back down to Bourg, the sun sets were simply awsome as was the sun rise this morning. Enjoy the pictures from the day!!
