Today I skied more than yesterday, swore at an annoyingly small thing and even had a little cry! I remembered to put factor 50 on my face today. It has been so hot! I’ve felt like a baked potato in my ski wear. The last run I did today, I did to prove to myself…
Travel Ramble – Tignes No. 1
Well guys, I’m back in Tignes again for another weeks skiing and the weather is lovely! It’s amazing seeing Tignes this time around in the sun because I didn’t really see much of it last year between not skiing and the terrible weather. This year marks a decade of skiing with my Dad and I…

Top Ten 2019 – Authors
