Pure Powder

So it's basically been snowing everyday for the last week, lost count of how much we've had but every day has been spend doing a few hours of snow shovelling from the night before. It's a bit demoralising when you clear an area and an hour later there's 10cm of fresh stuff there but can't complain, it's good to ski on and decent exercise (plus it beats cleaning)

I think I've skied 5 times now, mostly in poor visibility but yesterday we had blue skies and could finally take on some of the powder. The new ski's are amazing, can't imagine skiing on small ski's again- they just seem to float.

Here's a few freeze frames from the GoPro

We seem to clear our doorway each night but we've woken up to this a few times

Blue skies yesterday, one of the best days skiing until I realised it was -14 and I couldn't feel my fingers or toes

Accidentally broke the 'no-backflips until 2013' rule yesterday, couldn't help it with a natural kicker and loads of powder to land in though.

Wine testing in the evening, I'm now an expert and can pick you the perfect wine for your meal, not a bad end to a great day skiing. We tried the tow house reds and whites 3 of each from our upgraded wine list including a bottle of Red that costs between €150-200 in some of the Val d'Isere restaurants.

La Face light up in the evening, ready for the downhill and GS tomorrow, should be good but they've had a job getting it ready with all the powder. Get Ski Sunday on this weekend and you should be able to watch it, or on the red button it's live I think.

Also we just found out we have our first guests tomorrow so thats something to look forward to.
