A nice sunny day at last, and we went skiing. Loads of new snow – but also, unusually for mid-week, loads of people. It was possibly a Semana Blanca, which seems to be when school kids get a week to do all sorts of activities, including skiing. In any case, there were a lot of kids out today, along with their parents. So it was very busy, there was also a competition on, and whilst the pistes had been groomed, they got very churned up very quickly. Still, we skied most of the day and had a great time.
The forecast rain for Friday has now moved to tomorrow, which seems likely to be yet another work day. Friday should be OK for skiing. Not that stunning for the weekend though. Our friends just across the border, in France, Udo and Jenny, have been told that this is the worst winter for 20 years. Seems about right….

Its my fault! Its the first winter I have had at home since I moved here. If you’d like to chip-in to help me pay for an extended trip to Australia I can get out of Cataluña and let you get on with enjoying a typical winter! 😉
‘….worst winter for 20 years….’ where?? I’ve just come back from skiing and we had the best snow for 30 years!!
The snow is great. But there’s been far more rain than usual, it’s colder than usual. Normally, January is a really nice month here, very little precipitation, lots of flying. Not so this year. It’s supposed to snow in the mountains! Not rain here!
it’s a tough life eh geoff? i feel so sorry for you! ;-0
I’m with Wayno… Truly gutted for you both, I don’t know how you’re coping… slopes not pisted properly, other people there, all that new snow… dreadfull.
Chins up – you’ll get through these hard times one way or another 😉
You’re only jealous….
I’m with Wayne and Steve on this… Stop moaning, Geoff!
