Totally Dehydro

Bienvenue Gees’s. Had the best time ever with Kath and Craig. Aside from the off piste areas I think we pretty much covered the whole resort.
I couldn’t go up the mountain on the first day so I gave them a map and explained how important it is that you look at your map to check gradings. Val D’Isere is one of the worst resorts for under grading. Some blues are more like reds etc. It was a white out day but luckily kath had come dressed to be found in 100 feet of snow.(see photo). In typical Gee style they went up, left there map and came down a red, which is the entire side of the mountain and more like a black. Needless to say they didn’t object when I suggested some blues for the following day. Hysterical.
In keeping with our hardcore rock and roll lives back home. I promised a big night out. Starting with nice cocktails in Victors on to our favourite bar Blue Note then out to Dicks until 4am. The reality was, barely two cocktails in Victors and we were all falling asleep in our seats. Tucked up in bed before 12. Living on the edge.
On our visit to Tignes we came across a spectacular rock formation called The Eye of the Needle. Again kath’s grace and coordination overwhelms us all. While climbing up towards the eye which granted it pretty steep she loses her footing and slides down the slope straight past her ski’s and on towards the piste which was packed with people going a million miles an hour. Craig and Nigel being such gentlemen stood and laughed until they peed. Nice.
