The first day of skiing went well – I was a little worried that I wouldn’t remember what to do, but it seemed to come back reasonably quickly. One or two wobbly moments served as useful reminders not to overdo it on the first day!
Conditions are good – the sun has been shining all day (I’ve got the bright red nose to prove it!), but it is cold (see the picture of the weather conditions according my phone this morning). Some of the runs are very icy, so we’re having to be properly careful.
Courchevel is certainly living up to it’s reputation as one of the most expensive resorts in the alps. We were charged €28 for 5 coffees this morning!
The scenery though is stunning – we’ve had some great views today.
