Blue skies but no snow!

It was a very sad season for skiing this year. The lack of snow cover meant we drove almost to the lodge - something we have never done before. Normally it takes multiple trips as we pull our food, luggage and skis on a sled over the snow (and uphill) for 500ish metres. 

Therefore the unpacking process was quick and Andy and Ella were off testing out the slopes. Katy was under the weather so she stayed put. I joined Andy and Ella a little while later  for a few runs to test out my knee and try to remember how to ski!

The weather was lovely but the snow wasn't. Coverage was thin and the pistes had lots of brown patches (grass and rocks) that needed avoiding. Anyway it was nice to be back in the mountains despite this.
