Day 1: too snowy and a back that said "I don't think so ... for today". Okay, fine by me (I am quite good at procrastinating...)
Day 2: weather was clearing up, I got a ski pass for the day (I thought to myself "let's be prudent") and up I went. I had a blast! Snow was great and my back was doing fine. In fact, it was better than in the morning.
So I thought let's continue. Next day, I got a 4 day ski pass! Yay, shoop shoop, here I come! I went all the way to aiguille croche, the highest spot you can get to with the lifts! And there it was, the view of the Mont Blanc. So totally worth it...
The downside was... well, the way down. A red slope, not really any harder than some of the others I had done... But I got scared: it looked really steep, it was very windy and well, there was me, my primary obstacle.
Obviously, I made it down since I am writing this post. But my back (the I-feel-great-one) stayed up there. That way down plus lunch/picknick in the snow did it. Back at the chalet, the pain stopped me from walking upright. Time for the doc who declared skiing to be over. I still had a great week with my family and friends this week...
Next day I relaxed at the chalet and then, well, I went to this cool spa I've been wanting to go to for ever.
All's well that ends well!
cheers
