Well today is cold, crisp and dry, without a cloud in the sky. Infact, the next week is forecast to be wall to wall Mr Blue Sky (we will need some more snow after that).
So, it being Richards last day with us, we gave him the option. Les Arcs or Val d'Isere. So, after 2 seconds we were on the way to Val. It's only 35 minutes away. We stayed to the left of the area to start with and the cold weather made it's mark.
We tried one of the main mountain eateries but were not impressed so, after lunch on the move, we went back down to Val Centre and had a lovely afternoon beverage on the sun terrace.
The snow on the main Val side of the mountain was sublime. We did Le Face twice. They have a new lift that zoom's you up to the top of La Face. It's HUGE and has to be seen to be believed.
We took a couple of red/blue runs back down to Val and hoped back home for 4PM. We then scooted up to Arc 1600 for a few beers. We spoke with a bunch of 60 year olds who seem to be doing a season out here (hope we can do this again when we are 60).
We popped into Super U to top up supplies for Simon and Jenny's visit, which start tomorrow. We will be saying goodbye to Richard tomorrow morning (boo hoo). We are just off for a goodbye meal in town tonight.
Bye for now.
