Alain Baxter skis with ALC in Les Gets

So after a breif conversation on a Tbar in Hintertux with the Highlander I contacted most of the chalet owners and operators in Les Gets to let them know that they had the opportunity to ski with Alain for the day.

Lots of organising for the day and hoping that the weather was going to be good. In the end we had 10 folk turn up for the day and the weather was a beauty, clear skies and great snow. We decided to stay up on Mt Chery as its got everything you could need, mostly reds and blacks and generally empty, also the Grande Ourse restaurant has great video facilities, a pre requisite of the day.

Totally inspiring skiing with a guy who's only just out of the world cup circuit, not just a great skier, unbelievably fit but genuinely a nice bloke, I already knew this and hoped the others would find this out over the day. I believe they all did from the feedback I received, so thanks to all and lets hope we can do something similar next season!!

On a personal note Alain is the only person we know of who has slept with our Cocker Spaniel, Lyla and she says he's welcome back anytime!!!!
