The weather’s been so good that I’m starting to worry about the snow disappearing! For the last 6 days we’ve had nothing but blue skies and sunshine, give or take the odd cloud here and there. We’ve seen lots of people parapenting – they jump off the mountain with a hang-glider type wing and float across the valley for hours, as well as speed-flying – a smaller wing which enables them to skim the snow on their skies and jump off big drops. We even saw a young boy flying a small kite while he skied down the piste – I can only call that snowkiting really!

It seems to take forever to cook potatoes in our oven, but we had some cooked pork that we’d been given so it was well worth the wait. Although we wanted to get another good day of boarding in, it was decided not to set an alarm so we could get a good sleep and 11 hours later we woke naturally! The weather was mild and clear, with blue skies, and we hoped for another really good day on the snow. More >>
