Well it’s my last day in Chamonix. I honestly don’t know if I will ever see anywhere as picturesque as this place has been. Since I still haven’t found a decent place to upload all the pictures you can make do with this site

Yesterday was the best skiing yet, the clouds disappeared and the sun came out which took some of the chill off the air.

We decided to go to Brevent rather than Le Tour and it didn’t dissappoint. Fantastic runs, most of which were a fair bit more difficult than Le Tour. We did lots of runs on the blue runs there and then went up to the top of Brevent for lunch. Fantastic view, I don’t have any fear of heights but this was high enough to freak me out a little bit, especially the grille stairs that let you see straight down to the valley below.

After lunch we skied across to Le Flegere and by this time Louie had had enough. We left her in the cafe and decided to do one more run down from the very top of Le Flegere which was a 600m vertical drop and I think 1.5km long. Very challenging and lots of fun.

Today we spent the morning up at Aguile de midi (not skiing), which is at an altitude of 3800m. I had a lot of trouble breathing properly up there and got very very dizzy. Despite that the views were well worth it. Especially watching the nutcases skiing down from there across the back of Mt Blanc, True nutters.

Tomorrow we are back on the train and heading into Paris on the TGV after a couple of train changes.

Anyway I am gonna go grab a beer now.
