We took the unusual decision to ski during half term this year, but it was worth it to be able to spend the week with Saskia and Nick. Tignes is a great destination, with plenty to do at all levels. Tons of pistes, tons of non-groomed slopes and a good number of lift assisted off-piste …
We’re just back from a short break in Chamonix. The weather was excellent, and the skiing was fun. What more could one ask for to brighten up one’s spirits after weeks of grey British winter weather?
Before the weather warms up (and rains) on Monday, Laetitia and I grabbed one more ski adventure on our local hills…

We always reckon February is the best month to ski in the Alps … it has perhaps the best chance of fresh powder and soft snow, slightly longer days, and a fair chance of sunshine kissed weather! However, we last skied in France in February 2020, just before the Covid pandemic took the world into …
After our week in Val d’Isere we went off to Chamonix for a few more ski adventures with our pals Rebecca, Mathias, and Ian…
