The Eagle has landed. All 9 Monster Skiers today completed their last day of Monster Ski 2011 in Tignes and all were successful in reaching the huge, no, the really huge, total of 90,000 vertical feet over the 3 days. One group of Jon, Alison, Andy and Victoria stretched themselves to pass the 100,000 foot mark, while the other group of Sarah, Louise, Siobhan, Robin and Mike took the slightly more economic approach and passed the target by the late afternoon.
For some, and especially for those with MS who took part in Monster Ski 2011, this was a superhuman achievement and something they should take great pride in achieving. The Monster Ski 2011 Coupe du Monde goes to Siobhan for her fantastic effort.
Collectively, all Monster Skiers, plus their guide, ‘Woody’, a remarkable skier who gave excellent tuition throughout, managed to ski over One Million Feet – a truly enormous amount of skiing with an immense area of Espace Killy covered (and it is vast). There were tears of joy for some at reaching our target, and tears of laughter as we guffawed our way through the 3 days. A perfect tonic. We have had such a good time, met some truly great people and made some fantastic and lasting friendships.
