We went skiing at Masella. It was all fine, nice snow, sun, lots of runs, yada, yada, yada, until they closed part of the resort due to an accident. Passing on the lift we could see a big team of paramedics working on the casualty, but by the time we had skied back to the lift it was closed. We could hear the sound of the approaching helicopter and skied to the bottom of the resort immediately. After the summer we had, we didn’t have the stomach for watching another helicopter rescue.

It was a warning to take it easy and we did so for the rest of the day. On the way home we decided to stop at Ribes. We know the ski shop like the back of our hand, but haven’t been to the old part in years. I remember now why… it takes all of 5 minutes to walk round it and the main streets are nice and colourful, but the rest is a bit shabby round the edges. Still, nice to have a walk down memory lane.
