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.

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

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.

2024-02-03 | #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!

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.

On my own again, in the sunshine.

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.
