The snow was late

We woke to the sound of the snow clearing equipment cleaning up the car park. We'd had about 20-30cms overnight at apartment level. This would have been great had we not been driving to Geneva this morning to collect Catherine. The drive down to Combloux was slightly slower than normal due to the snow but the roads were pretty clear and the snow wasn't falling fast enough to make things difficult.

We collected Catherine, unloaded her gear and got her some skis and boots at Ski Technic then had lunch at the base of the Rochebrune lift and then headed up the mountain. Catherine had last skied at Uni and wasn't sure how much she'd remember but by the end of the day we had got her onto the red under Caboche and she was doing OK.

The snow conditions were better than yesterday but on the icy sections our edges held well, so I guess I must have done them correctly...
