Not much chance of sleeping in here. They groom the piste outside the window at about 7.30am…

As you can see the weather looks promising….
One mystery from yesterday was the pain in my feet. I appear to have skied all day with my socks on the wrong feet. You’d be surprised how uncomfortable this is. Anyway today I made sure to get it right.

We had 2.5 hours while the slower members of the family we are travelling with were in ski school so we played on the red slopes above our apartment and coming down from the summit of saulire. Legs could barely move after lunch, so very pleased to go and ski slowly with the others below rhodos.

We were surprised how quiet it was. Given this is half term week we expect queues but really not much. Part of this will be the weather, (which deteriorated with no sign of the promised sunny intervals), part will be the huge capacity of all these new lifts but all the same….
The snow is really good, having been built up over a couple of snowy weeks rather than a huge dump it is well packed and level and does not get churned up during the day. The run down to meribel from rhodos is as much of a pain as it was 23 years ago even with good snow…
Decided to go for a fondue this evening, really good.
