In your dreams

Today I fulfilled one of my skiing ambitions by completing (in one morning) the great trilogy of classic Tignes north faces; the Grande Motte (top left), followed by Pramcoue (SE of the Motte) and finishing with the Grande Balme (SE of Pramcoue). Unfortunately Blipfoto stipulations mean I cannot show you the routes, but believe me, they were epic.

I almost fell in a crevasse on the Motte, but managed to jump over it with a somersault; then I took Pramcoue in three or four turns at about 50mph, and then I put a few holes in my skis on the Balme as it was quite rocky at the top. Never mind, I am being sponsored by a major manufacturer of winter sports equipment, and will get free skis for ever.

And then I was ready for a really, really big plate of spaghetti.
