So for the first time.

Finally got myself into doing this, promised I would so here it goes. We got down to Gap with no problems, was a bit of a mission in driving (2 x 10 hour days). but we finally got here. So we loaded Gruber up to his full capacity and brought all our toys down. This included skies, 7 bikes, climbing gear and just about every other thing in our house!
First day here we went skiing to Vars, a small resort about 40 minutes away, we were greeted by great snow and a hard way to break in the legs. Both our legs were sore by the end of the day. Lara had no problems in remembering how to ski the pow!

Friday we went to Rissoul, as there was still loads of fresh powder to be had by easy lift access. Again another great day with a bit of hiking and loads of great soft snow, again, legs were trashed afterwards. But massive smiles and hoping that our legs will strengthen up quickly!

Sunday was our first tour. We decided to climb to 'Pic de Gleize' an easyish climb of 800m vertical to try and break our legs in. We were welcomed by glorious sunshine and great spring snow.

Lara on the final ridge up to the top. and below is us happy to have made it, all we had to do now was to try and get back down. Needless to say, by the time we got back down to the car are legs were shot. Spring snow is heavy and hard work to turn in!!!!
