My last day on the mountain and I decide to ski. Yesterday’s snowboard fun was amazing and I definitely want to do it again, but I also want to leave with happy memories and not injure myself on my last day. So I ski with Dad in the morning, although we’re not up the mountain very early. We do one run with Abby and I feel bad as it is snowing quite heavily and Abby finds it hard work on the board.
She is frustrated as we had such a good day yesterday and today the slopes are very bumpy from the fresh snow. Abby heads home before she hurts herself.
After a second run we stop for lunch and I treat Dad to Spaghetti Bolognese at La Ferme, which is definitely my favourite spot to eat on the mountain and very friendly.
After lunch we bump into Gareth and Kerry (friends from Wales) and Dad announces that he’s off home as he’s tired. I go off-piste with them and do the secret fun tree run off to the right at the top of the Linderet chairlift. The first section is steep and hairy but after that it is a lot of fun and we whoop the whole way down. After that I do the Prolays run one more time (or the Baden run as the boys renamed it in honour of their boy-love for Baden, their snowboard instructor) and then head back to Morzine via Le Crot which is the long run down to Prodain. I get quite sad skiing down this run as I realise it is the last time I will do it for quite a while.
That night, with most of our food gone, we head out for dinner and end up with take-away pizza. Abby has the best pizza with cream, roast pumpkin, goats cheese, pine nuts and honey on top – it is a wonderful combination.
