I have just spent the last week on my annual snowboarding holiday and had a fab time. This year we travelled with Esprit Ski who are a family ski company and excellent for children and we picked Val D'Isere as the resort.
Val D'Isere is a gorgeous resort with some fabulous shops, although these were way out of my league and it's ski area, when linked with Tignes is vast. As a snowboarder though it does have a lot of flat runs and some walking involved, so the Tignes side of the mountain is preferable.
This year the weather wasn't as great as it could have been. It snowed all day on 4 of the 6 days making visibility poor although it was at least soft to fall on and the day temperatures were in the minus 20's in resort with strong winds high up. I had to wear a huge amount of layers so unfortunately look larger than normal in all my photo's.
My son who has a charmed life and has skied before came on really well this year. He had 'improvers' lessons in the morning and then skied alongside us in the afternoon and even achieved his first black run on the last day. It was wonderful to see him achieve so much and really enjoy himself.
Now that I'm home it's still snowing, which is a shame, I like to come back from snowboarding and look forward to spring plus my warm clothes all need a wash. However I have got my next trip to look forward to which will be on board Royal Princess in the summer.
