Day 4 : 20/12/2011
Powder day
The french law of banning the niqab evidently doesn't apply to the ski slopes.
It was a snowy start to the day and the first run was in very deep snow. Visibility wasn't fantastic but the snow conditions were superb. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
There is nothing amusing to say about this picture, it's just what happened.
By early afternoon it was blowing a bit of a gale on one chair so we took refuge in a mountain restaurant hoping for it to clear up.
running the icicle gauntlet back at the hotel can be fun.
We decided to finish a little early and save our legs for the final 3 sunny days.

With a little time before dinner we searched out another bar in the snowy resort.
Jimmy Hill joined us for a game of shanghai in the second irish bar we found.
We are forecast for a little more snow tomorrow and a couple of sunny days so we are hoping to put in a few more miles yet.
