Our first Ski Sunday!
Because of the Eurostar services braking down and flights being cancelled we didn’t have to do any Airport Transfers, so managed to get out on the slopes for the first time today!
- Freddy Start Point
It was, p-p-perishing though, first thing, so we went a bit later in the morning, after the sun had been up an hour or so. We had a few hours on the slopes. It was glorious, sunshine, snow and mountains, looking quite brilliant. The cloud was on it’s way, and later on visibility started to diminish slightly. It was strange being back on skis, on the first run, but excellent on the second, and just got better after that. Snow quality was good, some nice bits of off piste, as you’ll see in the gallery, but still a bit scrapey and hard in a few places. No complaints though. Maybe tomorrow morning will be good too, although the forecast is for it to warm up a bit, with more snowfall. That’s a good forecast though, as the ground could do wth softening a touch so the next layer, of snow will get a better grip.

Autumn Is Upon Us
Autumn is definately here, with the treetops all turning, the temperature dipping, a regular dampness in the morning, and condensation on the windscreens. The snow has made a fleeting appearance , settling on Varan, and the surrounding mountains although then disappearing… just a minor taste of things to come. Our flying has now taken on the more serene character of gentle air and mild soaring. It is all still very enjoyable as what we don’t have in the spring and summer months in the shape of strong thermals and xc potential, we make up for in the sheer beauty of the changing landscape and the depth of colour, artists revel in. So here’s to welcoming in all the changes that mother natures offers….. We are still flying, but just scraping climb outs now.
