more fun in La Thuile
I am having more fun on the snow (and off it) in La Thuile. Have been up and down the mountains several times, now we do a combination of pistes from top to bottom, non-stop; e.g., Fourclaz, Pontreilles, La Nouva or, Chaz Dura, Terres Noires, La Tour (this one is rarely open due to avalanche danger but is a beauty) and Diretta. It takes longer to go up the mountain again…
Nice description of the pistes here (sorry only in Italian)
Also did the new no.37 (Maison Blanche), a nice little black which is usually icy and has a gradient of 72%. Tried all sorts of tricks to make Joanna fall and have a good laugh but it did not work; must try to jump harder in the rucksack she carries me…
And here are some more pictures, including my Italian friend Blaz.
