The next 3 days it dumped about 70-80cm with no sun but some of the best powder skiing I have ever experienced both on and off-piste. Leighton and Helen did a fantastic job showing us around and looking after us. The off-piste powder was just brilliant with knee to waist deep soft fluffy stuff and spectacular routes. For the last 3 and a half days it was bright sun and lovely groomed pistes in Les Houches, Les Contamines and Courmayeur. All in all, as with our visit in January, a brilliant experience in a special place with special people, who I am privileged to now call friends. In a word – fantastic!
