The forecast for today was for sun, but with a lot of high cloud. This would suppress the temperatures a bit and so it seemed the perfect day to go skiing! We set off in a baby blue sky and it stayed that way all day, with just a little bit of high cloud here and there. The snow has been melting and there is a lot less off the pistes, but they have done their best to maintain what they have and the snow quality was excellent until lunchtime. There’s 50km open at Masella and we set ourselves the task of skiing every open run, but by midday the sun had warmed the lower runs too much and we stuck to the top pistes.

Cumulus started to pop in the valley and we bitterly regretted not throwing in the gliders. It would have been an ideal day to ski in the morning, and then go have a fly in the afternoon. As it was, we finished a bit early. My knees were a bit sore from pushing it on some of the red and black runs. But when the snow’s nice…
