Lifted

First day skiing today and trying to remember how it feels and not ski like a complete muppet. Some top tips from The Big Dog ... since he's now a level 1 Canadian Ski Instructor!

We cruised loads of blue runs to get the ski legs and went over the Champagny for lunch.

The light was very flat and my one excursion off piste ended up being aborted. I could hardly tell which way was down as the sky and hill all merged into one.

This is part of the view from the balcony of our chalet in La Plagne looking towards the top of the cable car to the top of the La Grande Rochette as the sun was setting behind the mountains.
