    Have a great time Sallymomo- looks like you chose a great week!! :-)


  • Registered Users Posts: 256 ✭✭sallymomo


    Thanks FM!
    Back in the office now :-(

    What a week, snow everywhere!
    I will post a review in the next few days with added pics...
    Summary is;
    arrived Sunday eve, snowing, snow didnt stop until thursday morning. Thursday was a beautiful sunny day and first time there were a few on the slopes, had it nearly all to ourselves on Wednesday.
    Friday snowing again, on the way back to the village on friday eve and had bad fall about 800ms from the village.
    Looks like I'll be getting a scan done today at some stage :-(

    Which obviously meant that I didnt ski on Saturday!!
    Hope you are all enjoying the dumps of snow.

    It's great out there

    Oh no!! Hope you're ok- it happens so easily!! Good luck with the scan...

    Glad you'd a good week otherwise- at least you saved the fall till the end ;-)

    Thanks FM
    Tis a sore dose alright! Partly my own fault as the skis i hired weren't great.
    Left one got stuck in a small ridge of snow and didnt disconnect meaning my leg got bent backwards in the wrong direction.
    Probably ligaments in the knee as thats where the initial burn was and is still the sorest part but there are other bad parts down to my achilles so best to be safe.

    I had hoped to get a few days over paddys weekend so we will see what happens

    Back from Switzerland last night. Amazing snow conditions.

    Hope anyone heading out soon gets the good stuff. That's me done on snow until 2015 which is upsetting!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 444 ✭✭Rippeditup


    Just back from Meribel yesterday and we got very lucky with conditions. Massive dump on the 1st 2 days followed by blue skies for the remainder of the holiday. This lead to great conditions but the outlook is not great with tempetures jumping Friday & Saturday and that is set to continue.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,208 ✭✭✭Fattes


    It's light it's fluffy and it is dumping from the skis about 8-15cm all ready and it's still falling all the way down to about 1,200 meters


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,323 ✭✭✭Dr Nic
