SNOW AND CHALET REPORT
Les Arcs & Tignes
The last couple of weeks have been last
everythings as the resort's wound down to a close.
The last night of the blanc was a huge
one, with 2 days of day time drinking to finish the
bar stocks and ease into the hangover. Followed swiftly
by the last day of the lifts and the closing down of
the Marlu and the Dahu.
Eleanor, Steph and Judge headed over to
say good bye to the guys in Tignes, and ended up on
a dancing mission with the pole in Jack's. Think the
Tignes crew have definitely had a great season, and
with Pete, Pete, Harris and Ian all heading back for
next season, the resort'd better watch out.
Lou, Alison, Sam and Steph spent a day
in Annecy, soaking up the sun, and admiring the stunning
old town, and the final end of season send off was a
big lunch in the Blanche Muree, followed by a picnic
and beers in the trees above 69 so we could ride down
after the lifts shut. Sadly Eleanor's last run of the
last day was marred by a broken leg and a helicopter
off the mountain (get well soon!), but the hardcore
stayed on and rode down long after dark to say a final
farewell to the season.
A last night up in 1800 saw off the bowling
alley and the Red Hot Saloon, with depleted numbers
as everyone headed home in dribs and drabs. With the
chalets finally cleaned up and closed down, the resort
now feels like a ghost town ... Hope to see everyone
over the summer, and can't wait til next season already!
Over in Chamonix and Tignes, there are
a couple of weeks left of the season before they have
to pack up and head off too :o(
