More skiing

Yesterday I needed to catch up on farm work and re-stocking the house with wood (plus rest my tired legs). Today Ian and I headed for Guzet again. The weather was fine yesterday and Guzet had had it's remaining powder tracked-out (skiing Freychet today was horrible). However, we know where the secret powder stashes are and even though it had compacted quite a bit we still has some good skiing. This time I charged the batteries in the video camera and tested my new home made chest harness (movie below, click on the image to view and select "view HQ video" top right for the best image).

Hier, j'ai du faire les travaux dans la ferme et ramener des bois de chauffage. Aujourd'hui Ian et moi sommes parti à Guzet encore. Hier il fait beau et toute la neige poudreuse qui rest a été tracer (Le Freychet etait penible de skier). Mais, nous savons où la neige poudreuse est cacher! Un peu plus tasser que dernier fois mais bon encore. Cette fois j'ai porté le video. Cliquer sur l'image ci-dessous de lancer.

Then we had a go at pioneering a route descending through the trees from Tuc des Cristaux somewhere right of the route the locals call "fougarolle". We got horribly lost and were soon skiing through really dense steep beech forest - interesting. Finally we skied down the Ravine des Foursons and popped out on the road just above Aulus les Bains! We skied down the road to the town and Hervé who works in the tourist office very kindly gave us a lift back up to the Col de la Trappe where we could get a button lift back to the ski station for more skiing.

Puis nous essayions de trouvé un route hors piste entre les arbres en dessous Tuc de Cristaux à droite de "fougarolle". Nous avons devenu perdu, et après un longue descent dans les hêtres très dense et puis la Ravine des Foursons nous sommes arrivé sur la route juste au dessus Aulus les Bains! Hérve de la Bureau de Tourisme gentilement nous depose au Col de la Trappe afin attrapper le remonter mechanique - merci beaucoup.
