Other daughter out now with a friend who has never seen snow let alone skied - so all pretty stressfull for your trul,y waiting for all the females to get their "stuff" together - good deal on the lift pass for beginners, and my daughter with her Uni pass gets a reasonable discount - she skied well today in the slush, her legs are now aching - think she's still bed whilst I'm in the Frog waiting for them all doing some work etc - very good band playing again.........
Light drizzle was falling when I walked down here, think it's all going to be pretty dank over the next couple of days...........

Yesterday not so good, heavy & poor viz, today woke up early and noticed an unexpected frost which encouraged me to get up the mountain quickly and to get up (again one of the first) on the Balme lift and then do the steep lines just past the rope in Cucumelle direction, and as hoped for was greeted with much better snowpack & viz, ripped some nice pitches on the board, did three lifts and my tracks were still the only ones each time - did not go under the rope as risk way too high at the moment on steeper gradients, further down the cucumelle run they'd been balsting all the North facing slopes.
Then back home, out on the skis to go into teacher mode on the Micki slope by the Grotte - my "pupil" did well, not scared of going for it, and alter on did the "long" green all the way back from Aravet, then over to La Grave to see the fete happening over there as it was the Derby..........teenagers not impressed so had to leave earlier than I wanted .............javascript:emoticon('')

Definately not time to go home yet. thats the mickey and its always like that at this time of the year.
Absolutely fab day in the park i had today, great slushy conditions, bit choppy in placed but a great day.
Must get up earlyer tomorrow (ie before 12!)
nothing better than slush and sun if you cant have powder and sun!
still plenty of snow up there, few bare patches (to say the least) on the lower slopes. Hated the luc alphond but that is nothing new!
Cant wait for tomorrow

Helen Beaumont, fantastic news!
My season is now finished, i twisted my ankle last night, its looking doubtful i'll be snowboarding again this season 
Although it would seem like the not so perfect end to a not so perfect season for me on a personal level, it has been one of the best seasons ever, i think it rather fitting it should end like this. I wonder what next year will bring!

snowangel., I just want to say how much I have enjoyed this thread both this year and also last year. I first came to Serre Che for Xmas 2006 as our daughter was a rep at the Hotel Frejus for Skibound. My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Plein Sud and briefly met you there as you were doing some part time work in the restaurant. In 2007 we returned to same hotel for Xmas as our daughter was doing a second season repping at the Hotel Frejus again. At this time my wife Margaret was recovering from an operation for oesophageal cancer. In 2008 my daughter and I returned for Xmas as she was now working in the office for Skibound but sadly without my wife Margaret as she had passed away in the October 2008 after a long struggle against the recurrence of the cancer. So Serre Che has many happy memories for us as a family but of course some sad ones as well.
Given a fair wind my daughter, Kat and I hope to be in Serre Che for Xmas 2009, her work load permitting of course as I am now a man of leisure so they tell me.
Clearly Serre Che has special memories for both my daughter and I, and the thread over the past year has kept in touch with the what has been happening over the past 6 months in the resort which has been great. So snowangel., hope that you keep up the good work and start a new resort thread for next season.
Many thanks to you and all the participants on the thread for an interesting read over the past few months.

DAVID SNELL, I remember you and Margaret well, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, you have my sympathies. Margaret, in my memory, even though very short, was a very nice lady, but i'm sure you dont need me saying that!
we look forward to seeing you next year!
