First day piste skiing since March 2020 and a return to the 7 Laux where we'd finished. Surprisingly not that busy and no queues despite only 2 lifts being open.

A quick rollerski to work mainly on diagonal technique.

A short Saturday morning ski tour with Valerie, I was on classic skis and Valerie on skating. Very windy and we had to be careful on the way back with the amount of junk on the roads.

General DescriptionThe ski resort of Les Deux Alpes is situated in the Oisans area of the Isère department in the Northern Alps.

A return to classic style after a few weeks of skating. Working on weight transfer for both kick double pole (pas d'un) and diagonal stride (alternatif) techniques. 4m49/km which is not too bad.

The climb was harder at the end than I remembered. In general it felt quite easy, not like I was really killing it. It took 32m44s for the complete climb with a VAM of over 900.

I'd not climbed this way at all last year due to lockdown and covid so I wanted to see if I'd improved a bit. Well yes.

North to South, or South to North? That is the question and it is not entirely simple to resolve.

The annual "leave your car at home" event. To amuse the crowds (which it did) I went by rollerski/skating to work.

A little tour on classic rollerskis to move the legs a bit. Not too quick, balance a bit better after some recent practice but more work to do.
