Thomski 2011 - return to Bozel

We enjoyed last year so much we thought we'd do it again!
Sat 29 Jan - Fri 4 Feb. Trouble free trip, cold, dry, no new snow for four weeks, no need for the chains. Residing again at the very comfortable Chalet Courcheval - (website here).

Most days spent in Paradiski, just the one day in Courcheval, more to go at and perhaps better conditions on the la Plagne side, not to mention much better value lunches!

View across to the Courcheval skiing

First ski trip since the St Foy episode, all powers intact! (such as they are.....)

More photos can be located here

Some moving materials;

Thomski team in action

Nursery slope slalom

Normanation

Thomski takes it easy

Classic Pose

Colin seen here about 40 seconds after arriving at the crag.

Tidy rack or what?

No detail missed

Pushing the partner.

Climbed up, small holds, getting smaller, gear in, close to limit, climb down. Look at Colin. He looks back. I gather myself and climb, up past the gear, out over the drop, up under the roof, flap in a wire, useless! Grab a cam, ram it in, clip it and breathe.

Unforgettable.
