Too much snow, maybe...

On-piste was like off-piste and the off-piste...well thought we had died and gone to heaven. There is just sooooooo much snow.  This morning woke to up to fairly heavy cloud cover. The type of clouds that look rather threatening.


The type that if you were at a lower altitude it would definitely be a brolly day!  Visibility was pretty poor but as the morning went on it did clear, slightly. Once up top the sheer amount of powder across the mountains was unbelievable, but in places there are still many pistes where the odd rock and grass patch does poke through.  When the wind blows its just whipping away the massive amount of powder-like snow as its just not had the time to build a pack-like base given how quick this sheer amount of snow has actually fallen.

After a light lunch visibility again dropped back to how it was first thing.  Plus the wind had joined the parade resulting in many lifts to be closed.  Cheers went up when a suggestion of 'chocolat chaud' .   Not a bad way to end a Tuesday and well, there is always tomorrow....

.....the great bar debate has began.  The subject?   'Have we entered a period of possibly too much snow?'   The British eh, never happy!!
