2012 Starts Off on the Right Foot

Just thought I would share some fabulous photos I took yesterday while out skiing with my friend Kate.

The photos are taken at Les Carroz, near Flaine in the Haute Savioe/Mt Blanc region.

I went down on Monday by train to visit a friend, Kate. Within an hour of arriving to her house, we had skinned up and were climbing a local touring route in the dark. Wherever Kate goes, adventure follows!

The next morning we headed towards Chamonix and enjoyed fabulous off and on-piste conditions. Despite the bad quality perhaps you can still appreciate how spectacular the day out was, by looking at the photo’s below.

Alas, this morning’s ski-touring plans have been abandoned due to increment weather (I am writing this from a train on the way back to Zurich) However, I feel satisfied after yesterday’s rendezvous yet hungry for more snow fun.

Let’s hope the weather settles soon so we can enjoy more of the same very soon!
