A Few Shots from my Ski Trip

[Catherine Read]

This trip to Italy was meant to happen 2 years ago, my uncle sorted it out for 12 of us, unfortunately this year was rather lacking in snow, it was sunny all week. The slopes were a bit on the icy side so I didn't do too much skiing in the end with anxiety taking hold, but managed to get a few shots in while I was up there at least.

There were a few military helicopters flying over too

Looks so nice, I would have skied all over that.
Too bad it was icy, very hard and icy slopes is less fun.

The first day wasn't too bad, just the odd patch here and there but got worse through the week with the persistent sunshine. By the end there were all sorts of injuries happening on the mountain. Saw a fair few ambulances, a few people in slings at the hotel and some severe bruising in our own group lol. Apart from that it was still a good trip lol.

It`s rough when it`s icy, I have skied a lot and icy slopes was a pain. Especially if you fell. I had to be hauled off a mountain in an ambulance once too. It looks very nice in the pics, I`m just wondering, is it La Thuile in the Aosta valley?

Wow, I'm lucky enough to have only come away with bruises at the worst lol. It's Sauze d'Oulx so not far off.

Really nice photos. Yeah, the snow has not been great this year at all. Lots of accidents, icy snow..not really worth skiing or the prices to ski!
