Jetcim

A photo for every chair on the Jetcim skilift.

Port Aine is our local ski station, located about thirty minutes from our house, so we go up there most weekends in the season. The main chairlift, called Jetcim, takes you from the hotel at the bottom (at 2,000 metres altitude) up to Pic de l’Orri (the tippy top) which is at 2,440 metres. Jetcim has 122 chairlift seats, each seating six people.

I’m adding to this page every time I take a lift I haven’t been on yet, beginning in the 2023-2024 season. I don’t know how long it will take. Sometimes we drive up to the top (the Santana in the foreground), but Jetcim (in the background) is the more traditional transport.

A repeat from a year before with Saoirse, this time on my own.

2024-12-21 | #61 | 35/122

All on my own again. Need a shave again. This was the Saturday before Christmas and I was getting in a bunch of runs all on my own.

2024-12-21 | #55 | -/122

A repeat, but worth bearing in mind that the Big 55 is coming for you in 2025, old man.

2024-12-16 | #21 | 34/122

Sunny now, again with Rebecca.

2024-12-16 | #101 | 33/122

The first one of the new season, a 101 course for myself and Rebecca.

Saoirse, monkey, sticking her tongue out. This is the last Jetcim chairlift of the season. Until next year!

2024-02-23 | #23 | -/122

Shout out to my locally made bamboo poles. Another seat I was on before with Ollie.

2024-03-23 | #28 | 31/122

Blue sky end of season run.

2024-03-17 | #26 | 30/122

Sunny Saint Patrick’s Day lap with Finchi and familia.

2024-03-17 | #52 | 29/122

Half an hour later and the sun is out.

2024-03-17 | #29 | -/122

A month later, a Saint Patrick’s Day solo lap with a grey sky. Another repeat.

2024-02-18 | #55 | 28/122

Back on my own again, a solo lap.

2024-02-17 | #66 | 27/122

Carneval was a lovely sunny day. Laps and laps!

2024-02-17 | #2 | -/122

We’re Number 2 again!

2024-02-17 | #8 | 26/122

For Carneval, Saoirse and Boí were dressed up as Super Mario. We did lots of runs together this day.

2024-02-11 | #115 | -/122

This one is a repeat, but with the unrepeatable Rebecca, all dressed up for Carneval.

2024-02-10 | #54 | 25/122

Again with the loneliness. Usually I’m skiing alone when the kids are on their weekend classes.

2024-02-10 | #10 | 24/122

So ronery. So cold.

2024-02-10 | #2 | 23/122

We’re Number 2, we’re Number 2! All on my own again, not even the sun for company.

2024-02-09 | #90 | -/122

Ash taking the selfie. A repeat from Leland.

2024-02-04 | #115 | -/122

Ollie, Oscar, and Boí, another bright sunny day. Two in a row repeats!

2024-02-04 | #74 | -/122

Travelling with Fionn again. I was on this one before with Ash.

2024-02-03 | #121 | 22/122

With Fionn, and in the background there’s Oscar and Ollie.

2024-02-03 | #17 | -/122

I’m pretty sure that says #17. I was on this one before with Ollie.

2024-02-03 | #74 | 21/122

With Ash again. She keeps changing goggles.

2024-02-03 | #115 | 20/122

Pondering the middle distance.

2024-02-03 | #65 | 19/122

All on my own, trying to be casual while taking selfies with strangers.

2024-02-01 | #23 | 18/122

Ollie again, looking happy!

2024-02-01 | #17 | 17/122

There’s Ollie!

2024-02-01 | #84 | 16/122

With Rrrrrrebecccca and Ash, who is here on her holidays.

2024-01-31 | #76 | 15/122

I think that’s Ash beside me.

2024-01-31 | #90 | 14/122

Into the light, Leland. Into the light.

2024-01-21 | #27 | 13/122

A week later, two numbers down, more sunshine.

2024-01-14 | #29 | 12/122

On my own again, in the sunshine.

2024-01-05 | #63 | 11/122

Again with Boí and Pau.

2024-01-05 | #57 | 10/122

With Boí and Pau, on a cold day.

2024-01-05 | #83 | -/122

This is a repeat (#83) but, hey, Happy New Year!

2023-12-14 | #40 | 9/122

Rossa is here too.

2023-12-14 | #110 | 8/122

Daithi Power, in the Pyrenees!

One number down from the last one.

2023-12-14 | #104 | 6/122

Solo, but not for long.

2023-12-10 | #41 | 5/122

Boí eating his sandwich.

2023-12-10 | #71 | 4/122

Going up with Saoirse to do Rabasta, her favourite run. She’s four and is already a speed demon.

2023-12-09 | #86 | 3/122

Boí slightly disappearing again.

2023-12-09 | #1 | 2/122

We’re number one! With Boí slightly more visible, we caught the #1 chairlift on the first day.

2023-12-09 | #83 | 1/122

The first one! Yay! With Boí on chairlift 83, a bright and sunny day. You can only see the top of Boí’s helmet. Hopefully, I’ll get better at selfies on a chairlift and not drop the phone in the process.
