Wow, from what I hear there isn't much skiing going on in Europe at the moment, the press has painted a mural of despair as global warming reaps its toll upon us poor skiers- but not here in Val d'Isere!! Having skied in perfect conditions yesterday it felt like a beautiful day anytime during the past few years. Crisp winter snow crackled beneath our feet, sharp air freshened and rouged our cheeks as we cruised around half-empty slopes high in the French Alps.
Another day and things have moved on considerably as it snows outside, this may not be the biggest snow year but we are skiing on vitually all the pistes, save for those reserved for the World Cup skiers in La Daille- things are looking good for the next few days as well, more snow is forecast and lets hope that we now start to settle into a true winter.
Keep you're fingers crossed and your ears open to news of fresh snow- there maybe a lot more skiing left in this season before heading for les plages!
