Another Great day Skiing

After yesterdays fun but short lived ski tour up Rocher Rond when we got two thirds up it and the weather turned so like cats, we both put our tails between our legs and hot footed it back down. By the time we got down it was snowing and you couldn't see a thing.

Today we woke up to another great day so decided to go and ski in the Orciere area as we had had a bit of snow over night. Lara and I went up the west facing side of the valley L'Ubac. Picture of Lara climbing through the trees

The sun was hot and I was sweating buckets (for a change), I had a few problems with the snow melting and sticking to my skins, so off they came and I gave them a good rubbing with wax and it seemed to do the trick. Note the 70's style sweat band! Lara hates it, I say it is pratical

After we got to the top we had a great ski down on spring snow and some great powder lower down in the trees. legs are starting to strenghen a bit but there is still a way to go yet!

The weather forecast is again good for tomorrow so hopefully we will get another good days skiing in.
