Ski school part 1 was good, part of the seasonnaires lessons. Focused on skiing bumps, so I have gone away this week to aim for bumps to try and ski well and also to keep my legs closer together like a mincing frenchman.

Also tried out my Skins this week with a wee fitness trip up Les Houches, didnt get that far but will try again maybe today.

Met up with Popey and went a bit back country on Sunday and Ski'd the Pas de Chevre which was pretty cool. Was just nice to ski very close to the Dru and be somewhere away from the crowds. Ended up having to do an abseil into the exit colouir and then having to rush off to try and make my first pick up at 3.15pm, only just made it.

Some pictures of this ski route attached.

Also attended a Recco day, a free day out which was just a bit of an avalanche education. All good fun.

On Monday we went to Courmayeur again, take Shaun and Emma for a wee trip into Italia so Team Guy, Jennifer, Melvyn, Shaun and Emma went for Pizza and Vino and Coffee with a bit of skiing to be had too. Oh yeah, had a bit of a high speed crash. oops.

Hoping to sharpen crampon points this week or look at buying some mono points!
