Last day blues

Well that’s the last of it then, we’ve got a mere eight hours of skiing left for the season and it looks as if it will be a glorious day.

The Sun is breaking through the cloud and its a bright, crisp day in Serre Chevalier, I was rather hoping it would be a bit duff, like yesterday, but I think I have no excuse to not go up.

There was an end of season bbq at the Alpen last night so I suspect many will be facing the same dilema of nurse handover or head up the mountain to clear one’s head.

Tried an andouilette sausage, which is basically tripe in a tube, ie a sausage that honstly tells you it’s full of the surprise bits of an animal – not even certain which animal it came from, it wasn’t bad at all.

It’s been a great season, there is still meters of snow up there, probably because there was a dump weekly and the weather has been colder than past years, it will still be possible to walk up and ski, but the lifts will be off.

SerreChevalier.Org will not be resting on our laurels, we will still be blogging, but expanding our pages massively, to become a fuller guide and just last night Christov Astier, who used to race Luc Alphand until he smashed his back up, agreed to be our technical expert. As well as running the Aoraki ski shop in Monetier he  is a kit tester for the likes of Rossignol, so we will be reviewing the latest technical advances to be hitting the slopes for next season, as well as hopefully getting our hands on some new gear.

Darren Turner will also be giving advice on how to get the most out of your gear and how to look after it, so the snow might be gone, but the show will go on.
