#FabDayOnSkis

Tuesday 20th, 5.00, -2.8dg, Too dark out to call but there were stars last night when I went upstairs. Forecasting for the mountain, mostly dry. Freeze-thaw conditions max 1°C on Thu morning, min -7°C on Mon night. Yesterday was a stellar morning on skis. The snow was fab, the company brilliant, the new lift is wonderful, but in all reality it does make things feel a little cluttered after the pistes I ski being so open and free.. I know that sounds silly but now we have massive pylons dotted around in places where we had free air...Only my observation, but it shifts people in a very quick and orderly manner from the front to the back of the ski area, sadly the seats aren't heated!!! My knee behaved well until I used the right leg to stamp out of my skis out at the Grassjoch.. lesson not to do that again but all in all a lot of worry about not a lot. Fab. New jacket stayed at home as I had read the temp was -7 at the Kapel, but the new trousers were more of a colour co-ordination fluke with the skis than a fashion decision.... It was pointed out to me by several people. Back in the house by 13.30, not bad for the two of us when we get together. The afternoon was spent with more of the same old same old... am I seeing the daylight, not yet, but I am making progress. Free day for me until 17.30 when the Tuesday group gather, so it is back down to the cellar for me today.
