Eighth year in Bozel
Eight in the team
Well and truly Bozelated!
A few glitches - skis left in chalet, mitten mislaid,VW battery flat, and finally completely fobbed off with the XF keys in boot episode. All worked around one way or another no show stoppers!
Monday - snowy day in
Pralognan - all out, lunch at Fontanettes.
Tuesday - as above, with the Tiguan gang delayed by the battery mishap, hit by a maelstrom and evacuated off the mountain about 14.50pm.
Wednesday - Full team out to la Plagne (eventually) - mixed conditions lunch at Borseliers.
Thursday - One car load up to Courcheval - weather much better posh lunch at Casserole in 1650.
Friday - All out in La Plagne fabulous weather lunch at Inversins.
Saturday - Seven out in La Plagne another great day lunch at La Bergerie.

Great skiing on soft snow in the woods at Pralognan
Although higher up at only 1950m it was a bit wild.
Tuesday pm - skiing cut short by maelstroms on the mountain, sheltered then evacuated by 'Frique.

Bozel in the sun, it's a friendly town in a great spot, serves Thomski well
Long run down the Carella
Ready for the next steep pitch down the Sources, a terrific long and plunging red.
Great spot for an end of day libation
And another one!
