Courchevel 2017

Just home from Courchevel 2017.  Had a fantastic week, the fresh snow of the previous week had freshened up the pistes but they could do with plenty more.  The weather was fantastic with clear blue skies almost every day.

The kids had 4 afternoons training on the Stade Courchevel on the World Cup Race piste.  Two days of giant slalom and two days of slalom.  Thanks go to Gary and Gordon for a fantastic week of coaching.

Looking down the slalom course on the Stade

Ellie came home buzzing having skied her first couloir, the Grande Couloir under the cable car on Saulire, her father found it somewhat hard to watch! Lucky her mother was not around!

They traversed in just below the big rock at the top of this bottom photo and you can see them making their way down, ellie is almost at the bottom.

Above all the kids just had a load of fun.
