Best/funniest Snowsport memory? Two best memories ... my smiling daughter when I skied with her for the first time when she was 5 years old; and skiing the Vallee Blanche in Chamonix on the most perfect blue sky day with fantastic snow and breath-taking views – this was probably about 25 years ago and sadly the glacier has retreated significantly since then.
