Sally in Norfolk

After 7 days of skiing I am Knackered .
Hopefully going for a walk tomorrow, well it is Sunday

Yesterday even in the low light conditions I managed to ski from the highest point allowed on the les Gets Ski pass.
At 6575 ft it was steep in places and with a drop of 2000 ft I found it quite tough but I managed it.
Although it left me feeling mentally and physically Tired.
Then that evening [...]

The main thing about ski-ing which scares me is the Speed.
As my ski-ing has improved I have become more in control, which means I am better at controlling my speed,well most of the time
Today I took my GPS out with me to record my maximum speed.
Now I am not a fast skier by [...]

We may have been having lots of snow in England but here in Les Gets its not been quite as snowy as other years.
So this morning I found myself sitting on the chair lift,next to Geoff, feeling nervous about my first ski run of the year.
I had no reason to be nervous as I skied [...]

This was a walk we had never done before but due to a comment left on Geoff’s Everytrail…..
“dorothybowling – Aug 18, 2009 at 05:38:01 pmI have looked at Roc D’Enfer from a distance many times and as I have no head for heights at all, in fact the very thought terrifies me I have no [...]

Today’s walk was harder, steeper and longer.
We walked to the top of Ranfolly from Geoff’s Apartment.
There are many paths to take but I hope we took the hardest way up.
It was another very hot day and the views of Mont Blanc were stunning.
A total of 11 miles walked and my legs are aching slightly [...]

There is no sign of Autumn here in Les Gets.We woke to brilliant sunshine and temperatures have been well into the 20’s today.An easy walk today up to the top of Mont Chery.For a Norfolk Girl these Mountains are always a challenge and as usual I sweated like a pig I also found it [...]

Today was my best day skiing ever.
After a light covering of snow over night, we woke to another perfect skiing day.
In brilliant sunshine Geoff and I did 28 miles round Les Gets and down to Morzine.
Covering both blue, red, narrow and wide runs.
I played in the Indian park with the boys which helped with [...]

Today as the two man lift was open I finally made it to La Grande Ourse on Mont Chery.
The only other time I have been to see them was when we snowshoed up in December.
It was then being refurbished so today I saw it up and running for the first time.
Its run by the [...]

This is what it looked like today from Mont Chery…. and I am so glad I was not walking it but just viewing from a distance..

Below is five photos stitched together to [...]
