The weather forecast wasn't wrong it was low cloud ,windy and some light showers etc , it was lovely to have the kids wave goodbye to us from the balcony as we set off in the morning ,when we got up off the olympic cable car lift ,it was poor visibility with high winds (some of it because of the altitude )but basically poor conditions for ski'ing , i had to put on my spogles because of the spin drift blowing the light snow up of the piste and under my specs . being able to see what you are doing when skiing is obviously very important. the spin drift made the visibility really difficult we skied as best we could but the conditions were no good for practicing our style or playing today , we went into Tignes and met Allison Joyce and the boys for lunch. We left bob with the family and me and cammy and Ali headed back for the beers at La Folie Douce. ,we just had one beer and ali took the cable car back to town me and cammy skied down into town , and went to the ski hires hop i changed my skies for all terrain skis for my last day tomorrow , Then we went to Le Petit Danois. where We met my mate Danny darkness who used to live in polmont but now lives here , Ali alison and Bob joined us for a beer or two or three or four. we moved to the alpine lodge bar and i had to call it a day just before 11 as i was still in my ski gear and had had enough ! bob and ali stayed a bit longer with danny , not as much skiing done today but a good day all round
