Holiday skiing
Emily and I decided to hit the slopes on a lovely sunny day, carrying massive rucksacks in the name of training, whew! It was clearly the busiest week in Chamonix so we spent a lot of time queuing but the runs were good and it was lovely to soak up the sun on the pistes. Even though we doubt that we will use skis in Alaska (as we will be carrying heavy loads in addition to pulling sledges) skiing with a heavy rucksack feels a good way to kick start our training.

If you guys are competent enough to ski together I would recommend you use skis – you can get around the sledge problem with a few clever prussic and the two sledges going in between you if you are going down hill. If you don’t use ski’s you get out on the snow shoes as soon as you can.
Happy New Year to you both! And good luck with your 2009 plans!
