Back the the ol' 9 to 5
We skied in Les Contamines today. Michelle and Chris has skied there on Friday but I'd stayed in bed so it's the first time I've skied there for a couple of years. I was skiing on Head Monster M70's as the hire shop didn't have the Dynastar 8000's in; these were supposed to be somewhere between the B2s and the Dynastars. They certainly felt much more like B2s than the Dynastars. Overall I think I prefer the B2s to the Monsters and I'm still not sure about the Dynastars, they're easier to ski than either of the other two but they seem to lack a little in edge hold, and the edge hold of the B2s is SO reassuring...
We took the bubbles up to Signal at 1900 and skied the rolling reds around Tierces before moving on to Col Du Joly for a coffee. We then skied back down to Signal for lunch (home made sandwiches today) and then played around off of the Roselette lift in the afternoon. The off piste looked interesting but tracked out and lacking in snow.
With Les Contamines being just a 20 minute drive from us I expect we'll be back here for more pretty regularly.
