 Meanwhile, up high, Tina gets a feel for the conditions |
 Woah what the... What the monkeys was that?!! (Rik embraces the fast side) |
 Surely strapping a rocket to the board is cheating? My turn my turn! |

 Dave checks out the warnings up at the top. A relatively low 2620m, the chalet is just over 1 vertical km lower |
 Ah ha! The snow order has arrived! |
 Erm, how much did we order exactly? |
 Andy getting high at Tignes (don't forget to bring a towel!) In the background is La Grande Casse (3852m) |

 Cool, more snow! Ou est le singe? |
 Voici le singe. Il dit "il fera neige encore!" |
