Sarah being very happy.

Thanks to everyone for all the presents.

More powder skiing

After a "delicate" drive up on Friday night under heavy snow, we awoke to 50cm of fresh snow and more snow falling and very reduced visibility. Some nice powder runs and I even had to be pulled out once by a "pisteur" when I fell on my back (thanks very much to him). Jack even tried some off-piste skiing outside the apartment, he enjoyed seeing his skis disappear under the snow.

Sunday turned out sunny and more fresh snow so more powder snowboarding to be had and it was just heaven on the "3 eveches".

Then took Jack skiing and up on his first ski lift. He enjoyed it lots and enjoyed his big pancake in the middle as well! He enjoys going faster than Daddy. Daddy does not enjoy doing the snow plough the whole way down the slope!

And now for some skiing

Here are some photos of Jack's skiing start!

Jack and Sarah hanging out on the slopes - a bit more like snowboarders than skiers..

Jack happy to be skiing with Mummy.
