Information, blogs, etc for the trip to La Plagne 1/2/14 to 8/2/14
Well, we've certainly had all sorts of weather this week; mostly superb, but today we have experienced what it is like to ski in a foot of fresh snow. Not easy! Visibility was shocking and everyone had to put on their 'stiff upper lip' and get on with it. The groups went out to take [...]
