Ганжеста Парадиски родилась в 3277 году, в одной из множества Имперских систем, в возрасте 3-х лет она вместе с родителями, и еще пару сотен семей отправилась на колонизацию пригодной для жизни планету. По пути к месту назначения на конвой напали Таргоиды, родители рискнули жизнью сажая дочь в спасательную капсулу. Ганжесте повезло, ее нашли уже через пару часов. Когда ее извлекли из капсулы она заливаясь слезами поклялась отомстить убийцам ее семьи. Она поступила в военную академию в Фесисе и окончила ее с отличием, участвовала в большом количестве баталий, эскадрилья пилотов знала ее под позывным "Gunjest", через 18 лет после смерти родителей она столкнулась с теми кто расстрелял безоружный конвой поселенцев. Эскадрилья Имперских пилотов стокнулась с Таргоидами. Бой был неравный, эскадрилья была большая, но у Таргоидов броня была крепче. Имперцы понесли большие потери, понимая что если они не отступят то потеряют всех пилотов. Поступил приказ отступать...Ганжеста готовилась разворачивать своего Питона, но краем глаза заметила лепестковый корабль, в голове что-то щелкнуло, она присмотрелась...она узнала этот корабль...именно этот корабль выпустит коррозийную торпеду в Орку на которой находилась она и ее родители. Игнорируя приказы доносящиеся из рации, она направила свой корабль к Таргоиду, до инопланетного судна оставалось менее 8 километров, Ганжеста нажала на гашетку, искры аппаратуры уведомили ее о том что торпеда заклинила в гнезде. Отчаяние и злоба обуяли её, отступать она была не намерена, поэтому...включила форсаж и пулей пошла на таран Таргоидского судна. Вспышка озарила бездонный космос..... Ганжесту нашли...сново нашли...как тогда, 18 лет назад. Она отомстила, но дорогой ценой, Ганжеста получила ожог лица и потеряла левый глаз, теперь она не боится смерти, смерть отринула её..два раза...а кибернетический глаз ясно дает понять что отступать она не станет. Сейчас Ганжеста служит в эскадрилье "Red Stars", дороги для нее теперь открыты, но покидать свою родную систему Etznabi она не намерена. И всегда готова прийти на помощь нуждающимся как в самой системе, так и в её окраинах.

Holidays on the move - the best ski resorts in the world

While many people dream about the coming of summer, looking sadly at the snow outside the window, skiers and snowboarders are looking forward to an exciting vacation. On the eve of the winter season, the famous American travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler published the results of the Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. More than 800,000 readers participated in it, who for several months shared their opinions on the offers and services of the tourism market. Based on the survey results, a rating of best ski resorts in the world was compiled that are worth visiting for all lovers of active winter recreation.

Les Arcs La Plagne, France

In the heart of the French Alps, the Haute-Tarentaise Valley, is the famous ski resort of Les Arcs. Together with Peisey-Vallandry and la Plagne it forms the single Paradiski ski area. Les Arcs-la-Plagne includes four mountain stations, named according to their altitude and having a common network of lifts - Arc-Pierre-Blanche (1600 m), Arc-1800, Arc-1950 and Arc-2000. The resort also includes the town of Bourg Saint-Maurice, which lies at the foot of the mountain. The ski complex offers guests 425 km of slopes of varying difficulty levels, located at altitudes from 1200 to 3225 m. Both beginners and experienced skiers will enjoy skiing here. Novice athletes usually choose the Arc 1800 area, while professionals highly appreciate the Launched Kilometer track on the slope of the Aiguille Rouge mountain. Each level has at least one descent, illuminated at night. Les Arcs offers many active holiday options for those who do not like skiing. In the Ark-1800 zone there is a snow park with figures, a halfpipe and boarder cross tracks. Several slopes are suitable for freeride. The Launched Kilometer trail offers ziplining. In the Ark-2000 zone, dog sled rides are organized. Chambery airport is 127 km from Les Arcs, Lyon is 145 km, Geneva is 156 km. You can get there by regular buses and taxis or using a transfer. Bourg Saint-Maurice, which is located 15 km from Les Arcs, has direct trains from Paris, Lille, Amsterdam, Brussels and London.

Chamonix-Mont Blanc, France

At the foot of Mont Blanc in Haute-Savoie is the small town of Chamonix - the center of the oldest French ski resort, Chamonix-Mont Blanc. It also includes the villages of Les Houches, Servoz, Vallorcine and Argentiere. The excellent infrastructure of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc allows skiing from the end of November to April. On the slopes of the mountain at an altitude of 2000 m there are 100 trails, of which 13 are suitable for beginners, 66 for experienced skiers, and 21 for professionals. A special place is occupied by the famous White Valley - the longest glacier descent in Europe, ranging from 16 to 24 km. All slopes and pistes are divided into several ski areas - Grands Montets, Flegere-Brevent, Balme-Vallorcine and les Houches-St-Gervais. There is no general network of lifts connecting them all - you need to travel between zones by bus. The easiest way to get to Chamonix is from Geneva, which is 88 km away. There are buses and transfers from the airport. You can also get there by train, but with transfers - the journey will take about 3 hours. The fashion for skiing in Chamonix-Mont Blanc appeared at the end of the 19th century. In 1906, a big season was opened here for the first time. And from January 25 to February 5, 1924, the first Winter Olympic Games took place in Chamonix.

Ischgl, Austria

Ischgl is a fashionable and quite expensive ski resort, one of the best in Austria. It attracts with its magnificent nature, beautiful mountain panorama and perfect snow. Ischgl is located in the Silvretta Valley and is connected to its neighbor, the Swiss city of Samnaun, by a network of cable cars and ski lifts. Therefore, with one ski pass you can ski in two countries at once. The ski area common to both resorts is called Silvretta Arena. This is 239 km of ideal pistes, of which 20 are blue, 40 are red and 25 are black. You can quickly get to any place thanks to 45 modern cable cars. The ski areas located on the Idalp and Alp Trida plateaus are almost at the level of the glacial horizons - at an altitude of 2400-2800 m. There are no extreme slopes here, wide slopes up to 11 km long alternate with chutes and untouched virgin soil. Snowboarders will appreciate one of the world's largest snow parks - PlayStation Vita Snowpark Ischgl. It is divided into three zones: for beginners (Beginner Park), intermediate-level athletes (Public) and professionals (Kingsize). Ischgl is one of the best places in the world for snowboarding. The closest international airport to Ischgl is Innsbruck (99 km). From there you need to take a train or bus to the city of Landeck. There are bus services from the train station to the resort.

Val Thorens, France

The highest resort in Europe, Val Thorens, is the highest point of one of the world's largest ski areas, the Three Valleys. It's great for skiers and snowboarders, but those who don't ski or can't imagine their holiday without nightlife are better off choosing another place. Since the village is located high in the mountains, it will also take time for acclimatization. Val Thorens is connected to the neighboring resorts of the Three Valleys (Courchevel, Meribel, La Tania, Les Menuires) by a network of lifts and a ski pass. The “ski-to-ski-out” concept has been successfully implemented here - the village is located at the intersection of all ski slopes. The season lasts about 175 days - from mid-November to early May. The total length of the slopes is 150 km. Of the 88 pistes in Val Thorens, 11 are green, 39 are blue, 30 are red and 8 are black. The snow cover is of very high quality and lasts throughout the entire season. In addition, there are 5 km of cross-country ski trails and a snowpark with a quarterpipe, halfpipe and pyramids.

Three Valleys (Les Trois Vallées), France

The world's largest ski area, the Three Valleys, unites several French ski resorts located at different altitudes. Among them are the famous Courchevel, Meribel, Val Thorens, Menuires, La Tanya. All of them are connected by a network of lifts. The 3 Vallees ski pass allows you to use all the ski areas of the Three Valleys, but even a whole month is not enough to explore its many slopes. Les Trois Vallées' 600 km of ski slopes, of which 17 percent are green, 39 percent blue, 33 red and 11 black, attract skiers from all over the world. Athletes with any level of training can ride here - from beginners to professionals. There are 120 km of trails for cross-country skiing enthusiasts. 183 lifts transport 260,000 people per hour. Thanks to the variety of terrain and ski slopes, you can ski in any weather. 8 snow parks and 28 entertainment areas will provide excellent leisure time - no one will be bored. Altibus shuttles run from the airports of Geneva, Grenoble, Chambery and Lyon to the resorts of Les Trois Vallées. You can check the schedule and book tickets on the carrier’s website www.altibus.com. Trains run from Paris, Brest, Nantes, Lille, Le Havre, Poitiers and other cities to the Moutiers railway station, built for the 1992 Olympic Games. There is a bus service between the station and the resorts. In order to popularize skiing, Les Trois Vallées often holds promotions. For example, at the beginning of the season (December) and at the end (mid-April) there are reduced prices for ski passes. And on the opening day of the season (in 2021 it is December 4), discounts reach 50%. More details can be found at www.les3vallees.com/en.

Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy

The resort town of Cortina d'Ampezzo was the capital of the Winter Olympics in 1956 and will again be in 2026. World championships in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and bobsleigh are constantly held here. But wealthy Europeans come here not only for the sake of skiing, but also to, as they say, “show themselves.” The local public demonstrates all the latest sports fashion, and prefers to spend their leisure time in expensive restaurants and boutiques of famous brands located on the main street of the city. Cortina d'Ampezzo is the only ski resort in Italy that is part of the elite ski organization The Best of the Alps. Even in winter, the sun shines at least 7 hours a day in this region, guaranteeing the best skiing experience.

Of the 360 km of trails, 74 km are blue, 227 km are red and 20 km are black. There are also 36 km of yellow freeride slopes. Children under 9 years old can use the lifts free of charge. Those who don't like skiing should come to Zermatt if only to admire the Matterhorn, the most photographed peak in Europe. But there is plenty of other entertainment here. You can go sledding or go on a snowshoe tour, and relax in the spa in the evening. The city is famous for its cafes and restaurants, two of which, After Seven and Le Capri, have been awarded a Michelin star.

We started the year off with skiing in France, which was pretty epic.

After Christmas (which I spent in Germany with my mum), Ben came to visit me there and we had some really nice days - I showed him around my hometown, we went climbing and to see lilly a few times, and he met my mum (big moment woo haha). It's not always easy because he doesn't really speak German yet, even though I'm v proud of him for working on it, and my mum's English isn't great, but it worked quite well anyway :) we spent NYE with my best friend and her family which was lovely too.

Then we took the train to Bourg the next morning - a very stressful day because half our trains were cancelled because of the strikes, so a lot of running around train stations made more interesting by two sets of skis, boots, etc! But we finally made it to our air bnb.

We had the first two days of skiing to ourselves which gave me some time to get used to it again - I started when I was 5 but I've had more years off then on recently, including missing two full seasons, and have never had more than a week at a time. Ben on the other hand had a full two month season in 2014 and has been skiing every year since and he's incredibly good!! I was really proud to find I can keep up on slopes regardless.

After that, three of Ben's friends joined us for the weekend - they live in grenoble and ski on the weekends living in their vans which is pretty awesome. Following that, two other friends arrived as well and we moved into their air bnb for the rest of our ten days. On the biggest day, there were ten of us skiing in a group :'D they were all pretty fun but it was also exhausting keeping up with all the banter in a group of very colourful personalities who've known each other for years haha so I was often more tired from socialising than actually skiing.

It was still great fun though and I learned loads following them around. We didn't get much fresh snow the whole time so conditions weren't perfect, but I still had my first proper off-piesting experiences. It was terrifying in the beginning but then really fun, even though I ended up like in the second picture more than once.

The health issues mentioned in the last post put a damper on a lot of this, but I still made the most of it and it was still a great start to the year. Excited to learn more so I can maybe maybe do ski mountaineering one day?!

(Also I'm aware that skiing isn't exactly the most environmental sport... That's part of the reason why I haven't done it much in the last few years so please don't lecture me on this, I'm just a person and skiing is something I love and missed a lot, so I'll do it from time to time.)
