With Richard and Jack now back at work and school respectively, Felicity was stuck with us as skiing companions today.
We decided to ski the Mottaret area this morning, partly for nostalgia's sake ( it was where we stayed the first time we came here) but mainly because the snow and runs are better. Getting there was easy via the Tougnettes gondola then the Plattieres gondola which took us to a run we have enjoyed in the past - Sitelle, an undemanding blue run with good snow and lots of sun.
Unfortunately, I had my first stack this morning. Not so much a stack as an undignified plonk into the snow as I stopped beside Flick. Getting upright again proved quite challenging. One of the downsides of skiing in one's sixties!
We stopped for lunch at a restaurant with a large sunny deck near the top of Sitelle. Afterwards we made our way down to Mottaret and, after a bit of searching, found the beginning of La Truite, a cruisy little run that took us all the way back down into Meribel.
After Flick had had a final run, we adjourned to Meribar for a hot chocolate (with the addition of a nip of rum for one certain person.)
No new pictures today.
