Today we skied at La Clusaz, our first time at this station. But first, we had to catch the bus. For the first time, we nearly missed an outing by oversleeping- we didn't hear the alarm and awoke later than we typically leave the house. We decided to try to make it to the bus, and arrived, half dressed, just before the bus pulled away. Yea! We made it, pulled our socks up, buttoned our ski pants, and munched some dry cereal on the bus ride through narrow mountain passes to the beautiful peaks of La Clusaz (home of Reblochon cheese).
Morning lift.
After another gray, foggy week, we were surprised by the blue sky and sunshine.
The week's rain in the valley also means new snow in the mountains, so conditions were fantastic, soft and light.
Some afternoon clouds settled on the slopes and visibility decreased. But any chance to be in the mountains makes my day.
Derek's off-piste group enjoys being away from the crowds.
This was already the 4th of 5 CERN ski club lessons...another season passing too quickly.

After a long day, we gather back at the buses for the journey home (our bus had a donkey in the window).
