All okay here though our stocks of Nurafen have run out – that tells a story! Weeks 7 & 8 diary blog is now uploaded here Trip index (including photo links) is here We’re now heading south-west slowly, still in France, and just seeing where fate will take us!
Today I managed to get a couple of final hours of boarding in – pelvis and neck sore so wasn’t that fluid on the board, but I survived! Lovely day here today but no fresh snow or any forecast, so we’re heading SW slowly towards Montpellier via all the little…
After a good day playing in the park, doing rails, a few jumps and a bit of boarder-cross, I was just planning on venturing back to the van when….. …Into the snow-park and did a small jump really well, then on to the next bigger jump (which I’d done a…

Wow. What a contrast. 6-7cm of snow yesterday and the slopes are superb. On top of that they are fairly empty as people are back at work. So today was an excellent days snow boarding. I spent most time with Mel coaching her (like I’m an expert!?) down some reds…
OK – s’pose we can’t gumble that much. We’ve not had a decent dump of snow yet this year and as its getting a bit warmer, the roads in Valloire and paths are like (well, actually are) sheet ice. Cue a few falls when out and about… Snow has been…
