    Les Arcs season opener

    First Tarentaise weekend of the season, accompanied by lovely sunshine, a visit from Mr. Hardcastle, and a FREE working funicular (on the Saturday). This was our first spring MTB weekend staying at the new place... absolutely great having direct access to the hill in the mornings.

    Saturday: Black 8, White 8, Chicane Left, Girl Next Door, Chicane Right, Black 8, White 8, Secret Garden (newly "sanitized"!) = more than 6400m vertical !

    Sunday: we did a car uplift for the final 35%-ish of HEIDI (starting from "Plan Bois" on the Sainte Foy ski area), followed by lunch at the Orient Express, and then an uplift to Pré St.Esprit to do the Moist Nun (including helping a French couple get their Citroen C3 out of a ditch :-))
