So - the TR.
Mrs Ski and I took Eurostar and TGV to Grenoble, and the the bus to La Grave. The train was fine, as was the RER across Paris. We had time for a beer at Grenoble, and then wandered off to find the bus. We found Grahamn - whose train had been delayed, and had missed his earlier bus......
Catching the bus at Grenoble, especially at half term, is 'entertaining'- basically there is a huge scrum at the front, with the driver insisting on only taking those who had a reservation first.... This took some time, and then we were on, and leaving 20 mins late..
Up (slowly) through Vizelle - Graham by now telling us of his Eurostar-affected journey at Christmas. Then up to Bourg D'Oisans... and then the bus stopped. There had been an accident further up the road, so we were not going anywhere. Helpfully we'd stopped outside a bar - so a chance for more beer. We arrived at LG at 10pm.
Day 1. Skierslodge set us into groups, Mrs Ski, Graham, and I are all in the same group. We also have Ryan - a Canadian Ice Hockey player on rockered, phat skis, Kim and Kevin. This is the start of Kevin's 5th (!!!) week of skiing. The ride up the lift is depressing - everywhere has been blasted by the wind. We ski Valons, and then Chancel, including Partout. Ryan skis like a god. It turns out he has skied since age 3. Lunch at P3, and finish the day in the bar at Hotel Des Alpes.
Day2. Montgenevre. This is more like it;
 :
Bit sun affected… but after a walk..
 :
We found this..
Day 3 Montgenevre..more powder. This time we are joined by Chris, a Scot who has skied, like a god, since age 3.
Day 4 La Grave.. some soft snow .. but I really can't remember 
Day 5 Monetier.... Wow 
We had some of this;
and some of this;
Grahamn tried his new helmet camera.. I want one !. Today we were joined by Pete and Jake, who..had both skied since age 3, and skied like gods...
Day 6 Powder at LG.. but not much viz. Tried out some K2 Darkside. Look cool, but need more snow (and more speed) to get a good idea.
