February 05 Les Deux Alpes minus the Pow Pow!! Sob!Where's all the Snow gone.........Oh yeah, it never arrived!
Well, I am soooo glad I picked a resort in France which was high enough coz by the end of the week even 2alpes was struggling.
Do not envy anyone travelling to the french alps as they forecast nowt of the white stuff for another week.
That said, the weather was fantastic, blue bird skies in which you could see for hundreds of miles. From the Glacier you could see where the alps started, incredible!!!. Sunshine on the glacier meant it didnt feel cold (-08 degrees most days), actually in the park it was lovely and toasty.
The park on the Glacier was excellent, real busy a loads of top riders and skiers going nuts (not me tho, was being a pussy!!).
Anyone who goes to Les Deux Alpes must pay a visit to Secret Bar, if you have a choice of where to stay I recommend Hotel Le Cret as the Staff there are the nuts!!!
Night life was bloody fab for a French resort, still not as good as Austria I am afraid. And if you want the best Steak go to Le Bluets and order the Entrecote Chalious la Morealle (something like that), it was massive and delicious.
Still had a great time, but the most frustrating thing was the absolutlye incredible terrain which was so easy to access and would have meant epic powder runs and leg burn city for a week. I swear if it dumps late season I might just pop over for a few days as I know so fab spots to wreak havoc on.
Oh well, its all about the last minute trips and the timing to get the pow, hopefully I will have better luck next year in Japan.
But for this season, have to wait a few weeks for a triumphant return to Zell and settling some bar bills, favours and celebrating a b day or two.
Lets all burn a beanie as a sacrifice to the snow gods, we need more snow.
Tiny.
P.S. Hope it does dump as all the ski world staff at Hotel Le Cret and Les Deux Alpes deserve it, hope you all (Laura, Paul, Vix, Rach, Tommo, Rick, becky and the rest, am useless with names) have a fantastic time. You never know might bump into you some time in the future.
Servus!!!
