An assortment of ski trips
March-April 2009

Paparazzi: Pav, Jim, Caroline, Cathie, Clare C.
No. 1 THE OFFICIAL CLUB TRIP - Keith, Pav, Neil S and Pam spent a week touring the little visited valleys of Tafjordfjella, Norway. Plenty of snow and the joys of hut to hut. The scary thing lurking in the gully was apparently Pam and Keith, but I'm sure Pav was joking and what he was really dreading was his dinner...
No. 2 THE SPIKEY TRIP - Colin, Jim, Archie, Vaughan and Sylvia (plus friends) spent a week in the Italian Dolomites. This was apparently the easiest tour Sylvia could find. There was 30cm of new snow, and avalanches were heard and seen but carefully avoided. Highlight of the trip was a spikey but exhilerating 1800m ascent on the last day.
No. 3 THE CLASSIC TRIP - Helen and Caroline took to the gentler hills of Kvitavatn in Norway. Caroline says these photos in no way reflect the fun they had. Maybe wearing odd boots was what made the ironing fun, or maybe it was just the change from doing work shirts.
No. 4 THE YACHTIE TRIP - Cathie, Martin, Clare C, Clare S, Guy and John P went to the Lyngen Alps in the north of Norway. Dream trip for the club's ski- and waterbabies. (See Guy's full report on this trip.)
