A Little Gem
February 10th 2015
Third consecutive day of zinging winter sun, had to get BP out of decor duties and AT out of the West House Sanatorium.
Scugdale
About 9 routes done before a cold mist rolled in from Bilsdale - a little gem of a day.
BP on Saint's Wall
S 4a
Good gear and go!
More warm rock on Pet's Corner
HS 4b
Two good friends slot close together in the upper break
Woodpecker wall
VD
Always a good one
Pockets for holds or gear as preferred
AT contemplates the interesting atmospherics
Mist spills over from Bilsdale
Coffe and cake in the old post office cafe

Thomski 2015
25 Jan - 1st Feb
Bozel half dozen, sixth consecutive year in this town set in a valley above Moutiers at 850m between the megga systems of the Three Valleys (via Courcheval 1300) and La Plagne (via Champagny).
Team depleted by loss of team members AJ, injuries to SL and an attack of acute sciatica (MT) - on mountain team conseqentially reduced to single gender most days.
Sunday - good travelling day - fortnately just missed Operation Stack on M20 and tunnel running on time, Calais 8.45, arrive Bozel 19.10. All in good order.
Monday - mixed weather on the mountain, usual circuit to Le Plein Soleil for lunch and a couple of long runs off the Carella chair.
Tuesday - another changeable day involving eclarissons, chutes de neige, visit Plagne Centre via Verdons Sud, runs off the Colorado chair, lunch at the Inversins, some scratchy runs in the Bijolin bowl, followed by a foggy exit via Borselieres.
Wednesday - All out to Pralognan except MT still hors de combat, bright weather till about 13.30.
Thursday - Snowed all night, chaps back to Pralognan taking advantage of tree runs and frequent visits to the fabulous restaurant at Fontainettes, fluffy skiing on piste. V quiet until about 2pm. Even then pretty relaxed. Great place on a dodgy day.
Friday - Still snowing, about a foot in Bozel, poor forecast and bad viz, no skiing, two car trip to Chalet Alpina for a team lunch - Summit Snow chains work well, Tiguan copes with all road conditions, great! JS demonstrates stunt woman routine whilst clearing snow from chalet steps - forward dive with quarter twist into snow drift next to car. Heroic! Still snowing at 7pm
Saturday - Courchevel - with lunchtime meet up at "Le Floor" with the bus crew - great weather in the morning but snowing by the end of the afternoon
Sunday - Exit Strategy - heavy snow all morning uses up contingency in north and southbound parties
Tuesday
