Hello from sunny St Anton! Despite some rather dubious weather forecasts before we arrived, we've been blessed with some fabulous days so far. Today has been wall to wall sunshine, although we had some low mist for the previous two days in amongst the sunshine. It's still very cold, so the snow is in fabulous condition. Happy skiing days indeed!

Just had an amazing girls trip to Coumayeur. Totally skied the ass out of it as conditions were some of the best I've had in the Alps. Can't wait to go again!

PestoSkiissimos · 16/03/2016 09:24

Sounds amazing dontcallmethatyoucunt, last time I was there I tore my ACL on the first run down. So I only have memories of hopping about the resort on crutches and spending my time at the top in a deck chair with hot chocolates.

lovetoskimum · 16/03/2016 11:31

Dont, we had a lush week is Les Arcs, skied the best ever, daughter and hubby were awesome :)

The best week ever, now saving like crazy for 2017 !! :)

Pesto, how is your leg doing now ? xx

Well it seems fine, it's years ago that I had that accident. For the first few years afterwards. I skiied in a brace, but I don't any more. And I have been dry skiing regularly with no problems since... Well, apart from DD2 breaking her thumb at 1/2 term just gone Hmm - a slow fall on the dry ski slope she caught it in the matting - grrrr!! It will have had 5 weeks to heal by the time we go. The consultant said she can take it out of its splint then and just tape it up before stuffing it her glove Shock

lovetoskimum · 16/03/2016 12:10

pesto, sorry thought it was a recent accident, didnt read post very well did I !! glad all ok now though :)

Hope DD2 thumb heals in time, i am sure she will be fine xx

Keep us updated xx

pesto ouuuuuch to that. I went down an un-groomed run and did wonder why the heck I was on it. Knee fear. Old age. Confidence beyond ability. ... but I love it Grin

MrsGuyOfGisbo · 16/03/2016 17:13

Am glued to the webcam
Same here! Driving out on Sunday...

PestoSkiissimos · 17/03/2016 16:37

lovetoskimum · 21/03/2016 11:54

OP posts:
dontcallmethatyoucunt · 21/03/2016 19:33

12 more sleeps ! ! Would anyone object if I start a countdown?! Grin

I'm getting very excited. We've got 4 families going with 7 adults and 7 kids. It should be great (assuming the kids all get on!).

A 51 week countdown is perfectly legit too lovetoskimum

PestoSkiissimos · 22/03/2016 07:31

I'm up for a countdown....

4 more sleeps here Grin

lovetoskimum · 22/03/2016 11:40

Glad my 51 weeks is legit :)

Dont, I will join your countdown !! Lucky you, hope all children get on :)

Pesto, god 4 more sleeps !! Exciting !!

Nice sunny day here in Brighton today, keeping me smiling :)

Yes I'm looking out at the sun wishing I didn't have mountains of packing still to do! We have ski stuff spread out over 2 bedrooms currently Grin

dontcallmethatyoucunt · 22/03/2016 15:08

11 Grin ! (I'm tempted to say 10.5 as we have to be up VERY early)

dontcallmethatyoucunt · 22/03/2016 15:15

I'm so glad I'm not the only person ski obsessed.

Pesto I bet you can't wait. Only 4... almost there.
