Meeting up with Mark, Cazza, Clare, Joey-lad and Graham at Avoriaz. They are late despite promising they wouldn't be and we wait around for over an hour at the bottom of les linderettes gondola...............
Hope the snow up there is good as it looks shite in Les Gets and down here at the bottom I'm thinking?
Arrive and a full day of skiing but snow is worst we've seen for 7-8 years; naff-all and only Avoriaz is open - can't ski out to any other resorts or do a circuit as Mark's saying none of the link-in villages have any snow at all. Slopes crowded, losers and no-marks and incompetents everywhere - Christ it winds me up when the kids are at deaths door from idiots barely in control hurtling past them.
Lunch is crap and the restaurants's are choker but no one's got anywhere to go as skiing area so limited - still the toffs are out and can be overheard hooting and giggling like fools on their 2.5hr lunch breaks before heading down for their "R & R". Just go away - why do you bother coming?
What they are doing is a crime as it just pushes prices up as everyone knows the w**kers will pay yet it stops real skiers, boarders and riders from doing what they live for.................
Off home and I'm knackered at the days end. As usual I've done nothing; I'm still fat, still unfit and my thighs are screaming in pain. It's so bad I just bounce down the last run of the day.
Still the anti-dogma's are surprisingly better than I thought on the piste - put it this way they still had a bit of edge to cut into the hard pack unlike last years Seth's which were awesome in the pow and through the crud. But let's get real - Avoriaz or France is just not America or Canada where you get fresh powder every other day.
