Our last day before the conference opens for posting. We have a lot of work this evening, including phone meetings and final preparations, so we decided to spend at least part of the day out, given that we won’t move from the house now until it closes on Sunday morning. Since La Molina is more or less back to normal following the power cuts there, we went skiing. The power may be restored, but the wind was back (the first time we’ve been blown up a slope on the skis), and progressively throughout the morning more and more lifts were closed. Most of the pistes which were open were covered in wind-blown snow, and the skiing was difficult at first. But we found a couple of pistes where the snow was blowing off as fast as it was blowing on, and skied there for a while. The wind began to drop too, so lifts began to re-open. In the end we had a really nice day, cutting it a bit short because we had to get back home to begin work.

The SDP conferences are always fun; but always stressful too! Fortunately, Judith has bought a good supply of chocolate and alcohol.
