This evening we took a drive round the Alps. All the way round would have taken a few days, so instead we drove as far as Viuz en Sallaz and then up the valley to Boege and then back across over several mountain passes to La Vernaz and home.
Overriding impression? It's really really gorgeous out here. There's a storm heading in as well to give us some much needed snow. We're getting about 1cm tonight and then another couple on Thursday and then some more next week. Not a lot but we really need a refresher after the half-term muggles have left.
For the worried ones out there planning an upcoming ski-holiday, fear not. i'm a bit particular about my snow and therefore may come across a bit negative. There's plenty here. i've seen only 3 closed runs in the entire resort because of manque de neige (lack of snow). Considering there's 650km of pistes here and almost endless off-piste, that's really not a problem.
The moon is almost full and when it wanes, if the last several snow-falls and local legend is right, then we'll get our next big snow. If you have a malleable appendage, cross it now.
