Skiing group to Samoens and Flaine

Last Wednesday, January 31, the “fab four” – Mervyn, Thatcher, David and Mark – were joined by Mervyn’s friend Brian for a full day of skiing, with the obligatory lunch. Great weather, great snow and great company.

Real bridge (pronounced Rayal!)

We have lost two valued members of our group recently. Norman Rolnick, sadly passed away, and another is quite seriously incapacitated but we all hope will eventually recover and be able to re-join us.
If there is anyone out there at a reasonable level, we would welcome your presence. If interested, please contact me at anthony@raeburns.com

X-Country Ski Team 19 Jan 18 Outing

19 Jan 18

Quick report that Jeremy, Thatcher and I toured around the Petit Grand loop at La Vattay (9.7 km) in pretty fine conditions (even a touch of sun) on Friday 19, just over 90 mins. After a quick drink we were all home by around 1pm for lunch and a siesta (at least in my case).

Please feel free to join our group.

Skiing, Champery, Jan 17, 2018

First annual Dave Knewstubb ski outing

First downhill trip of the season. Not the best weather forecast so only Mervyn and Mark. Initialy looked like there may be no skiing but the lifts opened just after this photo.

Then interesting skiing with initially lousy visibility but gradually getting better. Great powder and a fabulous lunch. Then had to put chains on to get out of Champery.

The GIN ski group was first introduced to this area by Dave Knewstubb so we have named this event the first annual Dave Knewstubb ski outing. Already looking forward to the second.
