Grim & Grey…
…that’s the weather! in the lower valley’s anyway. In fact the last two days, loads of snow and cold. The highlight, a new cosy, snuggly electric blanket, that certainly takes the chilly edge away. The higher areas have been ok though. Especially Chamonix valley, having the highest elevation, (above the lower clag line). It is supposed to improve later in the week, so hopefully we’ll be able to go playing again soon. A couple of the neighbours use those mini-tractor lawn mowers in the summer, which double up with a plough attachment in the winter, so they have their own private snow ploughs. Very useful with the amount of snowfall we’ve been having recently. Meanwhile, I’ve added a few more forecast links on the ‘weather updates’ and ‘webcam’ sections, in the side menus. You can delve quite deeply into the sites for skiing information too. Today the avalanche risk was 3 in all surrounding areas, so quite good considering.

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.
