Cold

Since the alternative was going to the supermarket or putting a wash on we decided to ski for a while this afternoon even though we had planned to take the day off. It was cold but pretty clear and we had the best visibility we've had for a week.

It was cold, very cold. The weather report suggested a wind chill of -35'C and my nose agreed with the report. The wind wasn't especially strong it was just bitterly cold and I eventually gave up and put my powder mask on (something I very rarely do). We skied for a couple of hours marvelling at being able to see the contours of the snow ahead of us and enjoying the empty pistes, soft snow and light powder. If it hadn't been so cold we'd have skied a little longer, eventually we decided we were too cold and headed for the supermarket and the chores.
