Best day of the season

Hi all, sorry it has taken so long to get these pics on. I'm nominating Wednesday 16th April as best day of the season. We were on first lift (Mr Nickski was there so must have been early!), and quickly got out onto the corduroy - picture is of Biollay and was best I had ever skied it. There was fresh powder and we traversed to Creux Noir as the lift was shut and managed to get a good line over to the spot the other side of the lift. Nice and steep, good powder. We then headed to 1650 and Chaplets and the 'Valley of Peace' to the right of the piste - picture is of Ed Hall, Frank and Chrissie in the valley. As it was one of the last powder days of the season everyone seemed to be trying things you wouldn't try earlier - we saw a guy ski off a 15m rock off the back of the Chandrossa! Lots more skiing, mainly off piste then just as I was starting to tire - a parapent! Fantastic views over the Dou du Lanches, plumbers etc. and near perfect conditions with some excellent thermals. A few more runs La Tania side and then ski to Meribel to watch band of the season 'Livewire' play the Ronnie. They played an extended gig, with a few special guests. Then a delicious meal at the Taiga. What more could you want?

In all a fantastic season. Thanks to everyone who made it what it was (and the weather too!).

Rich.
