Back to Bettex
This morning the glorious weather had returned and we had a couple of hours to hit the slopes before more transfers again this afternoon.
Tibet or not Tibet?
We had a great 1½ hours at our local St Gervais area, the snow quality was good, and better than expected seeings as we’ve had a couple of snow free, lower valley claggy days. Off piste, it was all a bit cut up, and not that nice, but excellent practice for keeping balanced when you get thrown around a lot. We really enjoyed our skiing today, it was nice just to take it easy and practice turning consistency, balance, and positioning. Most of the time I just ski, and don’t think about it much, but on the odd day when I think about it, some of these little exercises can really boost the ease of control capacity. It may have been short, but it was certainly productive. I had the gps, and uploaded the skilog, it’s not as long, but very enjoyable non the less. The Igloo Bar & Restaurant have put up what look like ‘Tibetan Prayer Flags’ Looks like the Himalayas! although we’ve never been. A few more pics in the gallery.

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.
