Return to St Hilaire du Touvet for a few runs after it had been shut for a couple of years due to lack of snowLargely seemed to be locals up on the plateau des Petites Roches.

A plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a Renard.

Valmorel is a ski resort in the Tarentaise Valley, located in the communes of Les Avanchers-Valmorel and La Léchère, in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in France.

We decided to head up to the 7 Laux for Christmas day on the grounds that the locals would be eating their Dinde aux marrons and otherwise occupied. It turned out to be a good plan.

First alpine ski of the season. Absolutely nobody around so we managed to cover quite a bit of ground.

Traditional end of season at les Arcs. We didn't ski the whole 4 hours of our lift pass as I'm still recovering from my January accident but we were not far off.

Tot and I decided to head up to Chamrousse for the closing weekend.

Return to the 7 Laux but despite and early start and quiet pistes it took us quite a bit of time to get started. Maybe the ski on the Pleynet side, with its slow lift was the cause.

La Plagne is a bit smaller since our last trip.

We decided to head up to the Collet d'Allevard for Christmas lunch and a couple of hours skiing. Really good conditions and plenty to do.
