A Cheeky but cold Dicks Staff Ski

So we have been in Val d'Isere for 4 months now and we still hadn't been on a staff ski. A combination of getting everyone out of bed early enough, different abilities on the slopes and guaranteeing good weather are hard factors to overcome. But eventually we managed it minus a few doormen and a couple of people who had hit it hard the night before.

The general plan on my staff ski was to meet at the bottom of the Olympic at 11:00, have a little ski around Val before heading to Tignes Les Brevieres for lunch. This is how many people started the ski:



Soon after this shot one of our team got smashed into by an out of control skier and broke his collar bone. Two of our crew stayed behind to look after him and the rest of us soldiered on. Obviously there were a lot of "Punter" lift shots...







We headed down to Tignes les Breviers and the views are some of the best in resort.



We stopped at a restaurant called the PIZZERIA L'ARMAILLY and had a lovely lunch.



Unfortunately the weather came in soon after we had finished our pizzas, so everyone made their own way back home. A fun day out and something very different to the normal skiing we get up to.

Thanks... Until next time.
