Yesterday was our first outing of the season with the CERN ski club. For the start of our fourth season of lessons with the club, we went back to Les Gets, where the slopes have now been abandoned by all the holiday travelers and freshly covered in powder. The conditions were absolutely wonderful. Warm sun, new snow, but oops, we forgot the camera. The morning was a bit of chaos, with getting settled into a small parking lot and onto the buses with piles of gear, but once we arrived, the empty slopes were nothing short of perfect. Derek is skiing off-piste again this year, and I moved up to level 3, which is a good challenge. Today we practiced un-groomed blacks and some moguls. I'll be working hard to keep up for the next four Saturdays, but what a great way to enjoy the winter months. Bon ski!
