Anyway, it was a stupendously good morning and i took some photos. This was the hike up, doggies (left-to-right: Runa, Less, and Maggie) making this 25-30 degree slope look too easy.
And this was de-skinning at the rather spectacular top, after our 400m climb. That's Point d'Uble in the background, as if you needed me to tell you that. Scarlett is hiding behind Natalie's legs and Craig is actually busy de-skinning while i goof around taking photos.
Craig, gentleman, and did i mention, ESF ski-instructor that he is, then went to assist the ski-racer and race-champion with their own de-skinning. I'm still taking photos.
Left to right, we have Craig (still working for the ESF as a ski-instructor in this photo), Dani, Maggie, Less (the collies), and ski-racer and most-excellent-wearer-of-hats Emma. If you're not finding this entry funny you're missing out on the inside jokes. If you're in on the jokes and still not finding it funny... well i can't help you with that.
Finally, Natalie got bored of me taking photos - elle s'en va:
(And thus skied off). See why i say she has the best style? Anyway, so then we did some more photos:
May i present: Dani (did i mention also ESF ski-instructor?) and Craig). The acute bout of grinning may have been brought about by the view of Monn Blonn in the background. Either that or it was Emma yelling "reblochon" as loud as she could.
May i present Natalie, and myself. That would be a snowy Les Gets in the background. I haven't been up this early since 1999 - hence the leaning. And, finally, but certainly not least, we have:
Ski-racer and frequent-shouter-of-reblochon Emma with Natalie. Personally i think Emma's hat is the best hat i've ever seen. Anywhere. Ever.
So when are we doing this again?
