Foggy Monday
Heading up the Borseliers Chair

Great difficulty finding the way from up there back to the telecabine station back to the valley
Tuesday - MUCH BETTER!!
Coming off the Rossa lift

In the Bijolin sector looking across to Les Arcs

Lunch imminent!




Home running, on the way to.......


...... the regular pit stop at the Borseliers

This was a reliable place for rest and re-fueling



Chalet life
Complete with visiting cat





Thursday
Her Luminescence joins in trip to Courcheval
Sun tried but never broke through

Made the best of the snowy conditions pootling around Courcheval 1850



Back at the car park - INTACTO


Gnarly drive back to Bozel

Friday
Full gang out to lunch at 1850

Opted out of the 200 Euro fee to merely book a table in advance......




Saturday
A pretty rough morning gave way to the promised eclairissons - opening up a wealth of faff-able terrain so Hot Dog and Thomski duly made the most of it.

Girls enjoy a nice walk round the lake and a Pizza in town with a fine Cotes de Rhone.

All Requirements Met!
