28th January 2008 - Another Sunny Day - Snow please!!

This morning we said goodbye to Jenny & Simon. Simon's knee is much better and both are still thinking of going skiing again in the future.

Fiona is still not happy with her K2 Ski's, so we have taken a pair out from SkiSet for a free days trial. They are longer and heavier than her usual skies. We will do a half day in Les Arcs today and see what she thinks.

The weather is wall to wall sunshine this morning. We really could do with some more snow but there is not a lot in the forecast. Yesterday it was looking like we might get a big dump on Saturday but that has now been dramatically revised down. There is plenty of good snow from mid resort up, but a good snow fall would be nice.

6 hrs later - well the ski's were too heavy, so they have gone back. we are going to look around some shops tomorrow.

The snow at the top was OK, but some of the mid to lower slopes are very hard now and need some new snow. We hit the main black down from the Grand Col whch was very steep and with large moguls. The snow was lovely here. We then had a relaxing coffee at the top. The sun was very string and warm, probably too warm for this time of year.

We both felt quite weak today as we had a stomach bug last night which kept me (John) awake for most of the night. We feel better now and hope that a good nights sleep will make all the difference.
