last day of another brilliant season


Another season ends as it normally does for me with a trip to Zermatt for a BASI course and a week of Telemarking.

The 1st 2 and a half days is low visibility, snow falling like its middle of winter, variable conditions but when it clears on the 3rd day what a warm up 1st run, perfect powder! Hang on this is the 29th April isn’t it??? Gradually over the next 3 days it gets warmer, bluebird skies and on the last day we get to ski over into Cervina in Italy, for some awesome ice cream snow and a brill lunch half way down the Plan Maison at Chalet Etoile!! One of my favourite places to eat.

All the group manage to pass their 2nd discipline and make a lot of changes to their technical ability thru the week. Apart from lunch the last day is spent on trying to refine the action points in everyone’s action plan, lots of drills and discussion and an awful lot of fun. Thank you guys if you read this, what a way to end the season!! And check out the Matterhorn in the background of the photo, what an awesome back drop to ski about!!
