encore une fois

The week went too quickly. I'm just getting pretty comfortable on just about any of the slopes, and having lots of fun. But today was our last full day of skiing before we return to Thoiry tomorrow. Luckily the sun was shining, but it was still really cold. In the morning, we skied over to France for a bit past WWI lookout fortresses, and then back in Italy to finish the afternoon.

Bye to La Thuile and thanks to our new ski companions for a great week!

If you want to see more photos of us wearing goggles in the Alps, Derek added an album on facebook which you can view here.

pista tre

We took yesterday off from skiing due to high winds, snow, and white-out conditions. Today, we were back at it, and the goal- surviving the infamous #3 piste with a 73% maximum slope (one of Italy's toughest). Before (left) after (right). Notice all arms and legs are in-tact. Really wasn't so bad after all besides a few icy spots near the beginning. I never would have done it if Divonne hadn't talked me into it.
