First Ski Day
looking up towards Mt. Jolie and Red run...
almost empty!
We’ve been having a lot of trouble with the ‘Server’ recently, on and off every five minutes, what a pain in the butt! so it’s been a tad difficult to keep the blog updated. Anyway, here’s a quick update before the thing disconnects again!
We’ve been skiing… and it was loads of fun. Just up here at St. Gervais. The snow was really good not quite powder but certainly got some depth, there’s no solid base beneath the snow though so going off piste brought us to a swift halt! It’s been snowing today and the snow is probably gorgeous but it’s very windy and visibility would be very limited so not particularly inviting. There were only a few lifts open in St. Gervais and Les Contamines just for the weekend but are now closed again, until the official opening on Saturday, 17th. Les Grands Montets had a few open too, and are open again today but the high winds, and rapid deterioration forecast kept us away. It’s looks like there’s more to come, so just biding time until then.
Christmas, isn’t far away now another year coming to a close… doesn’t time fly??

Let it Snow!
Just look how much snow there is on Plaine Joux launch now, and it’s still snowing… we may go for a plough through the snow tomorrow up there. It’s actually quite wet down here, but who knows maybe later in the week or beginning of next we’ll get a chance to do some skiing

Plaine Joux Launch... now!
And here’s the other side, a lot more than yesterday!

Ski Cruising 2010/11
We haven’t been doing much ploufing, just can’t seem to rustle up the enthusiasm. It’s been very cold recently and snuggling up by the fire is very appealing whilst we have some spare time. It’s not going to last for very long as the airport transfers are starting to accumulate. It looks like a weather change is on the way as snow is forecast. Thinking about snow, I’d taken a couple of helmet cam movies of last years skiing, so threw together a video. Just a taste or reminder of last seasons skiing to whet the appetite for the coming season.
