penultimate day in the alps 1

          second last day on the slopes today and what a great day ,big bonus cammy was up with the rest of the team ! we had decided to make our way up the slopes to get a shot on the zipwire which is  apparently the biggest in the world ,which is probabbly more about the hight from sea level rather than distance of the wire , it was a few easy runs and a cable car a bubble car and a chair lift then we had to decend a tricky black run ,then another chair lift to get to the start of the zipwire at the 3200mtrs peak,  we were up there at 11am , and yep it was shut ! it was windy and in cloud to be fair so it would probbably have just been a rip off if it was open at 50 euros for a zipwire that lasts less than 2mins  ,visibillity was down to 100mtres max so you wouldnt even have noticed the exposure

   we had some excellent runs around that area and a coffee in the mountain cafe ,i switched on the go pro and i think i got some good footage today,  i tried to get a bit of footage of the very first female urinal i have ever seen ! but decided that was a bit silly we need to be adult about such things lol the group of four are moving well down the slopes now and we had a cracking midday ski all around that area it was surprisingly clearer at alltitude because we came above the worst of the clouds ,but when we skied lower down it was poor vissibillity ,the plan we made in  burger bar last night to go up to the zipwire then head back to bar 360 for apris ski ,and the plan went perfectly except the zipwire being shut (maybe next time )we even got an excellent picnic hut for a midday sandwich stop ,val thorens is certainly turning out to be a fantastic resort 

       when we eventually arrived at bar 360 at 15:30 the party was starting the young team were filling up the dance floor and ordering bottles and bottles of rose wine, the drink of choice in that bar is a bottle of rose and a pint glass then they head into the dance area , we opted for indoors and a couple of large beers  with a bannana chocolate and cream waffle ! a pleasant ski back to the appartment just before it got dark and a team made dinner we need to finish up all our food as we are going out for dinner on our last night tomorow ,so i made a big curry with everything we had in the fridge and cupboards and i dont mind saying it was excellent and enough left for supper ,

         its nearing the end of our ski holiday sadly , so we have to start making plans ( the captains not here this year ) todays plan went perfectly we now want to have our last good night out , because tomorow is our last day on the slopes and we want to plan our apris ski, we dont know if it will be la folie deuce or bar 360 ! but the most important thing is we are organised for our 08:00 bus to the airport on saturday morning, which means an early bed tomorow night  

             So here I am in the apartment block/apparthotel bar called burger bar using their wifi while enjoying a beer with the team , I've uploaded yesterday's blog and now just going to update today's before the nights ended for a change ,I shall add our nighttime adventures from tonight ! Our last big night out here tomorrow ! Highlights from today were watching the kids do go karting on a ice track ,the  group skiing well together. no lows it was all really good sad it's coming to a close ,the only bad thing to say would be the apartments

were noisy last night with youngsters partying ! I never heard a thing I sleep with ear plugs in but the other 3 are after my plugs lol , so what's going to happen tonight ? Will the young team go to Malaysia ? Will the auld team join them ? Let you know tomorrow  

The zip wires shut !!
