 Poster: A snowHead
|
So in a bid to make myself feel happy inbetween now and the next trip at the end of March I got thinking about what I enjoy most about strapping on my board and going for a razz around. But what is it that gets you lot going?
For me the perfect day would be waking up feeling fresh (rather than hungover), wandering around a chalet to see smiling faces aroudnt he breakfast table as some nice juicy bits of bacon are laid out on a plate. Follow that with coffee that's drinkable and some nice grapefruit juice, it's be a nice hour-long dump (of snow) while I get my gear on without working myself into a lather in a boot room that's not set to molten magma on the thermostat.
Then it's out of the door, preferably to find myself just a few deep breaths from the Fornet cable car in Val D'Isere, going through the turnstile to find the smiley lads and lasses taking me and my mates up the hill for a quick workout on the Mangard run. Then we'd do that circuit a few times to warm the legs then magically find ourselves at the top of Grand Rochette in La Plagne to do the big blue that runs all the way back past Plagne Villages into Plagne Centre.
Then it'd be a big baguette from the bar in the centre, a beer in B.N. Bar in Val D'Isere before I head up the chairlift to the point of Pont Du Nyon in Ls Gets. Do that as fast as possible, saying hello to all and sundry on the way down, revelling in my amazing abilities to cut through off-piste like a knife through butter.
At the bottom it's then a case of getting the choo-choo train through Les Gets to Mont Chery, only to find acres of fresh, untracked powder and clear skies giving me that awesome view over to Mt. Blanc. Then, after that, it would be the Epaulle Du Charvet in Val D'Isere (just to give myself a scare), then to the top of Fornet again to do the last run down through the trees.
After that, it'd be Irish coffees and Fischers in L'op Traken in Les Gets (with the scary, stary waiter), watching the sun set over the mountains as I know some great chef (like the one in my YSE chalet) cooks me great food and supplies and endless stream of beers and wine. All this while we listen to a random selection of choons on an iPod and we have a midnight snowball fight to see out a wonderful day....
.... oh, I forgot to say that I'd also set the world record for the longest 1080 method air off the top of Chamoisseurre!!!!!! 
Your turn....

my perfect day would not include setting a ski up, fitting a boot or seeing dutch people. For the rest I would be happy.

dunno about the details of the day, but I know how it draws to a close.....
"Now now Angelina, don't be so greedy, there is more than enough to go around, why not let Uma have a go whilst you keep Selma and Elle company on the other side of the hot tub?"
