A sprinkling of snow and a morning of cloud

Clouds rolled in yesterday evening and this morning the mountains were completely shrouded. It was dull below the cloud and the peaks weren't high enough to get above them. We skied over at Cote 2000 for most of the morning on around 2cms of fresh snow (don't knock it) and limited visibility. Today I was skiing on Dynastar 8000's (178s). They're a softer ski than the Rossignol B2s, with a similar shape and a slightly shorter turn radius. It was pretty hard to compare the two different skis as the conditions today were so different to yesterday at Les Gets. The lack of visibility meant that we were feeling our way around rather than carving the place up. We headed over to Mont d'Arbois for a late lunch at the Igloo with the non-skiiers. A nice lunch of pan fried Mullet.

We cut short the afternoon after lunch (around 3.20) as I felt ill (hot, then cold, then sick... flu coming?) and headed back home. I hit the sack and the paracetomol and slept for a few hours and woke feeling pretty good. A lazy evening in front of the fire watching Firefly whilst the others went out for a meal and I feel good as new ;) Tomorrow we're off to Les Contamines to see what the conditions are like over there.
