Well Sunday looked gloomy so I went to the slopes with the kids to watch Praz's Yooner competition. The yooner is a type of sledge allowed on the slopes from the top down, a normal sledge is forbidden and you have to stick to certain areas. They had a competition Sunday. Not a huge turnout but I managed to snap a picture of one making a rather fast descent.
I am meant to be doing this Thursday with friends, secretly though I am praying for rain. You use your feet as the breaks. Will keep you posted.
Then Sunday afternoon a friend called to say the World Cup Final was on at Cote2000. It's at the top of Megeve so we wrapped up warm and went to watch. Great atmosphere with loud music and lots of people clapping and using cow bells. Love that sound.
You can just see the two skiers. This is a downhill run full of little bumps with a big jump in the middle. Actually called Ski de bosses Dual. A French lady won it from Megeve, it's incredibly fast.
The course - 235m long
This is Seb with the kids.
The weather closed in though so it was home for hot chocolate. I have never seen such big flakes.
And I thought Spring was on the way.
