Best day of the season

2008-05-10T08:20:00.003+01:00

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.

25cms of lovely powder high up
------------------------
After 2 days of snow above 1700 and cloud, saw some patchy sunshine especially at the top of Peclet today.The skiing is fantastic and more Spring like due to warmer temperatures but still powder to be had above 2600 on North facing slopes.Still skied home to the door.

ONE OF THE BEST POWDER DAYS OF THE SEASON
------------------------
At least a foot of fab powder above 1800 and a good few inches in La Tania.Poor visibility this morning and heavy snow so the tree runs were great as always.Started to clear about 1pm and the Grand Couloir was as good as I have ever skied it, just masses of powder.

LOVELY SUNNY SPRING DAY
------------------------
Typical March/April day. Piste M and Jean Blanc were bashed and amazing soft snow. Not too slushy later in the day and all La Tania resort runs still open.Snow predicted coming in overnight down to Moutiers could be yet another powder day.

Another Powder Day
------------------------
Still plenty of powder to be found if you venture off piste a little. Walked up behind the hut at the top of the Chanrossa chair (the pisteurs were checking for tranceivers)and came down the large face. Then up Creux Noir chair. Headed towards the Mottaret side and then climbed up back towards the Courchevel side to come down the left hand side of the Aiguille. Light and fluffy deep powder. Finished off by coming down the couloir at the top of 1650, a little wind blown at the top, but great lower down. Followed by a well deserved hot chocolate in Rocky's. Pistes in great condition.
