Snowboarding in Tignes (Feb 2010)

We (me & the Mrs) decided to do a last minute dart over to Tignes in France for a snowboard session in Feb. Mixed sort of affair really this time. The first couple of days we had stunning sunny weather and the snow and mountains were sweet!

From there on in, it went downhill. An almost constant white-out and one day we had about 1m of snow fall. The snow fall was superb - the fact that we couldn't see our feet was not so hot! Got to be fair though, in all the years it's the first time we have been away and had so much bad weather...

We stayed in an apartment block called Homeau de Borsat - needless to say, that was quickly renamed to Homo de Borat. Pretty basic but fine. Although the cheeky gits did charge for any extras, towels 'n' all that stuff...

A nice view:

Me :)

And the Nickers!


Nic managed to successfully make her way down the Olympic downhill run in Val d'Isere as well - hell, some of that was very steep!

Would we go back? Yeah probably. It's pretty spenny but loads of mountain and loads of very accessible off-piste :)
