Tignes, for the winter

Tignes before the snow

Tignes tension. When was it to snow? How thick were the skins on the onions...

What to do in a ski resort with no snow? Kick rocks..

... throw stones...

Then it neiged.. a lot

 and then it neiged some more

So we shovelled

 and shovelled..

 ... and shovelled...

 ...and then we went doing snowboardings..

On the first shred of the season some urban jibs went down as the lifts weren't operating

First shred on the piste was in waist deep powder, the burn was very substantial.

And when the lifts did open I tried to make skateboarding work on my snowboard

 It was really fun. And pretty. I Like tignes and I like snowboarding.
