Week 7

The week started with rain, lots of rain. This gave us our first real ice of the season. Lots of the pistes had icy patches early in the week and though the snow during the week has helped a lot there are still some scrapey patches to be wary off. The snow's good though; this week has refreshed pistes and the off-piste and due to the continuing cold the powder off-piste is still pretty light and fluffy.

We had another visitor for part of this week and so we did a bit of the "tour people around" thing, which was good fun and shows that I can now navigate the area pretty well and adjust for unforseen problems and still get us to lunch on time; mostly.

We explored Praz a little more and found some very nice runs down from the Ban Rouge lift. We will do the whole Praz->Flumet->ND circuit once the weather gets nicer.

The freezing wind seemed to have eased off a little today, which was a relief. I still have a nose, which is a surprise...

I've had some good and relaxed skiing this week, the conditions were a bit more varied but that just makes skiing them without problem that much more rewarding.
