Chamonix, France

Another poor day, the girls passed their badges, all that left was the sledging .. and also carrying the stuff down from the chalet to the car ready for the morning and the return to the UK.

The girls had a go on the Argentiere camp site slopes  after ski school

then back for the sledging.

Grands Montets, France

 The sun was out today, and so we headed back to Grands Montets especially with the fresh snow from yesterday.
We went up to the top station as it was open, Sue took photos and went back on the cable car, whilst M-J, Chris and I skied down.

A good day playing in the fresh snow.

1999 Ski Trip, France

M-J had booked a chalet in Les Praz just outside Chamonix, Bryon and Sue did not come with us this year, so it was just the two families.

We caught a relatively early ferry and drove down to Bourg en Bresse before staying the night in an F1, before a relaxed continuation into Chamonix. We first stopped off at the tourist office for Carte Neige insurance cards, and also to raid the discount stores.

We then headed off to the chalet, which was situated up a steep icy track. We had to park at the first hairpin, and carry everything up to the chalet on the girls sledges.

The chalet was a new build with plenty of room for us..  however it would be a few days before we could drive anywhere near it.
