My vacations to ski (update day 4/7) Blog Options

I discovered that my phone was able to send pictures I was taking to the Internet via Tweeter (and only tweeter).

So I tweeted some pictures of my vacations in Val Cenis today. I will go on if some are interested.

That would not be very interesting for average French people since skiing vacations in the Alpes are quite common here but it might be different in some SEA countries. So I post that for them.

My tweeter : https://twitter.com/#!/NemoUlysses

Val Cenis slopes plan :

http://www.enimages.net/visites/savo...=valcenis0.xml

+ [Introduction] +
I began ski quite late (16 yo) and wasn't able to ski that much after. I loved it since I began and I was frustrated to be that bad at this sport and not being able to follow my mates as they were rushing down the slopes. I was just snowplowing from side to side (the beginner's way to ski):

It takes a long time to learn and when you don't begin early, it's even harder.
So I have tried to teach my children how to ski since they were 6 yo and now, 6 years after, they are beginning to catch me. So if they want to enjoy this in the future with friends, they will be able to.


+ [Day 2] +
Today :

This frozen lake is about 2.500m in altitude and has one shore in and one in . It's a very beautiful landscape at the top of the mountains. I took it just before going down the black slope M.Jacot Met (Michel Jacot de la Met).

Lunch at the creperie.

At the top of Le Grand Coin. We were very fortunate to have such a beautiful day. Usually this place is awfully cold and windy. Taking a picture is impossible.

I will update from time to time this week.

If I reach 100 followers on tweeter, I take a picture of me going down a slope nude on my skis.

More seriously I usually don't tweet, so don't bother following it after this week. I'm not a very "public guy".

+ [Day 3] +
Edit:
Day 3
Some of the pictures I tweeted today

The younger son fooling a bit before going on a off-piste skiing. Backward skiing.

Before the black-rated slope (hardest type). I go or don't ?

OMG who is there in Val Cenis ?

A short walk at the end of the day.

And now time of City of tempest.


Edit:
Day 4:
Skiing require special clothes and special gear that you rent at the village. Each morning the preparation is not the funniest part of the day :

Back for lunch. Sliing in the forest is always nice. That's one of the reasons I like this station. Nude peaks and forest:

The whole family :

@Frogmite
Pyrenees are too far away from Paris. Probably at least 10 hours. Even from Nimes, Alpes are quite nearer.

@Escapist
So I hope you enjoy those pictures.

You know what this means folks? Google Translate time!

"Nemo me I thought you would go skiing in the Pyrenees! Not forget the sunscreen."

For me, it's 1 week like that :

And 45 weeks like that :

When in Australia it's 365 days / 365 like that:

Such great landscapes and wide spaces and beaches to swim, surf, sail, cycling, running, any ball sport. No wonder do so well at sports.

You can't have all the blessings.

For our friends, it's another story, unfortunately I guess.
