Spent the day having awsome runs down through the trees, on steep runs,
quite a bit of hiking to get to some truly amazing runs.
On the hikes up to waist deep snow, having to lay flat on the board, to swim through it.
The tree runs back to the bottom were incredible, even our guides were
having orgasms!
The powder was riding up our bodies to almost choke us.
Down through the trees it was almost a minefield with quite a few tree
stumps, catching most people resulting in some serious wipe outs. It
wasn't so much the stumps, but trees that had fallen down, and then you
caught the board / skis under them!
It snowed all day, with a good metre plus falling, we were all very wet
by midday with the usual goggle problems, after face planting.
By the end of the day we had two casualties in the other groups, all as
a result of the infamous stumps, luckily nothing broken, just very bad
bruises that put them out of action today (Friday).
After the days excursions finished, the guides informed us that the Col
was shut, so we couldn't get back to La Grave, so we had to spend the
night in Serre, which turned out to be quite a riot as we all started
drinking at 5 o'clock, about 18 of us were distributed throughout
apartments and hotels, no cahnge of clothes, no shoes, but who cared!!
It meant we were in Serre for Friday!!!!
Somewhere there's skiers up there!
Deep face plants & snow holes!! That's Ed's Head!
So much snow, and tight trees
Jes in yet another snowhole
