The 3 Valleys Escapade in a Day

14 points across the Three Valleys.
Nine started and five completed. (Top gear rules applied).

Al Jones and Pete Middleton (second time completed in 2019 too) and Phil Leo, Dan Brenchley (snowboarder) and Nik Mitchell.

Mixed conditions: run of the day was Lory in the 4th Valley, whereas Verdet towards Saint Martin was a teeth chattering nightmare.

Some delays on the lifts and quite a few crashes lost us some time. We made Foret with 1 minute to spare. Such a blast.
