Bardonecchia

& Sauze d'Oulx

Italy

January 1987

A trip to Italy with friends from my Saturday job.

Making our way down the piste road...

The snow may have not been too great, but the beer was cold and the food excellent. I know you'd expect it in Italy, but the pizzas were the best I've ever had. 

A quick après beer...

Merv and Shaun...

Shaun finds one of the many and extensive patches of ice...

Still going...

Me in the ski school race... apparently I had the fastest halfway point time... not too much use as I was way out of control on the lower half...

Despite the poor showing, I manage to reach the hallowed ground of officially being able to say that "I ski parallel", though I'm sure, like many others, that I thought I could in my head a long time before I could actually do it on the slopes...
