Almost where I learnt to ski....
 
 
Please click the photos to see them in a larger scale:
 
 
Sun and camera....
 
A photo I'm quite proud of (which I think was taken in
the Val d'Isère or above Méribel).
 
 
 
 
 

A totally inappropriate hat!
 
Dressed for the slopes....
 
 
 
 
 

The Puffa is fine, and I like the jersey! But the boots and ski pants (which is what they were).
 
....but inappropriately dressed and sporting salopets - whoopee!
I was a beginner....
 
 
 
 
 

The sign is pointing in the direction de campagnol!
 
You will have to re-size this one (if you can be bothered).
A campagnol is some sort of rodent (c'est moi)!
 
 
 
 
 
The skiing is inapptoving in the Trois Vallées (as is the dress sense).

 
Still somewhere near Méribel or Mottaret (whose chalets
don't compete)....
 
 
 
 
 

They've always said I sit back!
 
Still staying at the Grande Nord (I think).
And the skiing is getting better (for a third expedition).
 
 
 
 
 

Slumped (out of sight of the tourists). ;)
 
I wish I still had the jacket and trews.
But I do have the scarf.
 
 
 
 
 

Wasn't my ski (I promise).
 
Another nice jersey.
Shame about the gloves....
 
 
 
 
 

Red run on the first time to Val d'Isère....
 
The second ski trip (and a red run).
Still got the salopets to embarrass Britain in.
 
 
 
 
 

Starting to get the bit between my teeth now....
 
It's a Stuntman Challenge!
And not how I trashed that ski (which wasn't mine).
 
 
 
 
 

Look marmottons!
 
Back to pretty pictures.
And the French obsession for rodents.
