Overall

Boxing Day. Another lovely day.

The day's lesson was spent on "Les Cretes". I was a little late because I had to pay for my rescue before the patrol would let me have my skis back. Apart from hurting a little in the cold air, my head didn't really give me any trouble.

In the afternoon, we all went up to the Summit. Sue had been told there were some slopes there she could ski. In the event it was too windy to ski at that level.

So, while Sue took the gondola back down to the restaurant at "Toura", the rest of us took the run down from the summit to Toura. This proved to be really enjoyable. For the most part it was a run, not just a road with varying difficulty. After some refreshment I took the video camera up the chair lift and took some pictures of the youngsters.

They skied down, while Sue and I took the gondola and waited at the bottom.
