The holiday break has come to an end, but not without one ski outing. (My cold took a break to let me survive the NYE marathon, but picked up where it left off once we returned home. Back to the couch for a few more days of recovery.) Today we made our first ski trip of the season to prepare for the Cern ski club outings that begin next weekend. There hasn't been much snowfall and even warmer temperatures predicted for the coming week. Ski season is off to a slow start, at least for us, but fingers crossed for more snow in the coming weeks. The snow was wet and heavy, but not terribly slushy on the higher slopes. Some of the un-groomed pistes were really quite good even though the visibility was flat. By the end of the day, we were pretty tired and stopped to enjoy the view with vin chaud before the final descent to the village.
