Skiing (Day Five)

Or let's try something new....

We decided the night before to get up early and ski over to Morillon and Les Carroz to see what the runs are like over there. Jules was still in too much pain to ski, so Peter and I headed off to catch the first lift at 9am.

This time the Dolomie run was fine. Being one of the first people on it meant it was still nice and groomed and not too busy. We then caught a lift over to Morillon and skied there for a while. It was all in shade and because we had no recent snow falls it was pretty icy. But it was quiet so we stayed around for a while. The initial plan was to ski for the morning there and then head back before the Dolomie run became too crap. But we were not all that impressed with the runs on offer at Morillon (more snow and sunshine would have made them pretty good though) so we headed back early. Dolomie was looking pretty bad already and then we had to brave Tourmaline before getting to the bottom.

Deciding that we could not end the day like that we headed back up the hill to Crystal but the bad weather was coming in so we did two quick runs before heading back to the apartment.

We spent the afternoon drinking, eating cheese and salami and playing cards (which Jules won of course). We decided to go our for dinner and headed down to the Forum for a fantastic pizza. Earlier in the day we picked up some yummy pastries from the patisserie so we headed home to eat those.
