Finally we got to ski again. It snowed in the mountains yesterday and today should be the coldest day of the week, so best time to go. It was sunny at home and we drove through a layer of cloud on the way to Ribes, where it cleared again. In the Toses valley it was beautiful sunshine, but as we got to La Molina, there was thick fog! At Masella, we got on the ski lift and it took nearly to the top of La Pia to get into the sun, but once there, we were treated to a fantastic view of the sea of cloud below us. We took the next lift to the top of the resort, where the views were even better.

Eventually we had to descend back into the murk (to get to a cafe to have lunch). The cloud did start to dissipate in the afternoon, but then started to re-form in other places, so it was a really intersting day for changing scenery. Some of the sunbeams in the trees were magical.

The snow wasn’t the best (or worst) we’ve skied on. With the thaw/freeze cycle coming and going, it’s a bit lumpy and icy under the top layer, but there were nice runs to be found. Just nice to be out in the white stuff again…

See photos of today.
