20th February 2009 ..... We had a great week skiing in the French Alps. Loads of snow and some unexpected fine weather. Kids earned their Medaille d'Or for their efforts which included skiing down the World Championship piste with their instructor (the World Championship Skiing competition finished a couple of days after we arrived). A piste that their parents decided not to ski down because it was too steep and too icy (and needless to say, too scary)!
We enjoyed spectacular views day after day in the fine weather and even managed to ski in a bit of powder when it snowed overnight.
