We knew a whole bunch of pilots were going to Masella today and the first person we bumped into in the car park was Nani. We skied together for a few runs and then headed up to the top of the resort and met up with Xiliu, Sergi, Albert and Ricardo. A Santa Brigida reunion. They all went off-piste down some precipice above Coma Oriola. We thought better of it and stayed well away! Once we split up we lost them and never saw them again.

Masella was unusually busy. There were stalls from most skiing manufacturers with demo skis, but there were also loads of groups of first aiders and mountain rescuers who were doing practice runs. We were a bit concerned about the number of accidents until we clocked that it was either a convention or a training camp.

See photos of today.
