Dave
From:
North East England – Northumberland
Learnt to ski:
A bit in wet and windy Scotland, a bit on a dry slope and a bit in Italy which was nicest of the three!
Summer months:
Recently been ski coaching all year round and real estate broker.
Favourite piste/run:
The Foret blue run in the trees in La Tania
Favourite off-piste area:
Wherever is good that day!
Favourite lift:
Loze chairlift from Meribel to Courchevel. Very chill. Any bubble on a cold day!
Best view :
Top of the Cime de Caron in Val Thorens. Rumour has it you can see the Matterhorn but my eyesight is failing me!
On hill eating:
I like the Bouc Blanc in La Tania. Simple, unpretentious and a good mountain meal.
Evening apres or dining spot:
I haven’t done evening apres since the millenium so I am not the man to ask but I do like Alessandro’s in 1850
3v must do:
Ski to the Orelle Valley. It feels totally different along there but make sure you have a decent level as some of the runs to get in there are tricky.
Simple advice:
Spend more time skiing confidently on easier runs than scrapping down hard ones.
Don’t leave home without:
Your wallet and car keys, you lift pass, your sunglasses, sun cream, snacks for the kids, helmet, telephone…the list is endless.
