Thanks Rose. What is annoying me is that it is going to be snowing today, do we need more on top of the 1.5m in the last week? :wink:

I had fresh snow every day and every night, constant powder :lol:

Just finished up for the day, skied back to the door of the chalet, put the things away and here I am. In a way it is sort of a 'shoulda been here yesterday' type thing but still knee deep if you know where to look (knee deep on skis that are 115mm at the waist and 189cm long) The snow has just moved in and a fair bit is forecast before the morning so I can smell a pow day in the air.

As for the skis.. probably mounted a little far forward for my liking but good. More to follow.

I just quit for the day. I have a stomach upset and my legs have gone all rubbery, subsequently skiing very badly whilst shivering on the inside.

I blame it on a pain au chocolat mid morning :evil:

Still, I did some reasonable stuff this morning, and the avvy risk has gone down to "Considerable" so most of the hill is open :D

Very cold though :shock:

No luck, is it snowing? The clouds closed in here at about half 2 and it has just started to dump!! Still not the Rockies.... :wink:

The clouds came over and the light went poor, now the sky has cleared and the sun is out. Darn cold and breezy up top though.

Some patches of soft powder left, but some is starting to form slabs, and a light crust. Ross, I hope those fats of yours have a bit of weight in them )

There was some crust on one side of the mountain but the other side is pretty sheltered so remains completely soft and creamy. Snow is very light. Through the cut up stuff they are excellent so I am going to become a 'buy Whitedot skis' person.

Also don't come to Sainte Foy, it is rubbish.. go to Zinal or something like that, I hear it is excellent.
