Our first day of the ski season! Bit less windy today, but still very cold. The ski resort of Masella had announced that they have some fancy new machine that fluffs the snow up and can make even the artificial stuff into powder, so despite only 30km open, we went up to have a go.

There isn’t any snow off-piste, but they’ve made the most of what is open and the skiing was excellent. We skied every piste we could get to by chairlift. Strong winds closed the higher lifts and we couldn’t be bothered to take a button lift – too cold. I had on six layers, and no bits of flesh exposed, so I was actually warmer than I was yesterday.

Can’t wait to go again next week.
