We made an early start down to the lifts, but Orelle planned to close by noontime for an impending storm. Derek and I decided to head back up to the cabin for a rest day, some reading by the fire, and a walk in the snow while the Hirshauers headed out for sledding. We wandered up the road, onto snowy trails to make our way through Villard and up to the next town up the mountain Pralognan (by town I mean and old church, a mill, and a few stone houses).
We came up a steep foot trail through the wood that met up with the road in Pralognan...doesn't seem to get much use.
Derek rolled a giant snowball.
Our holiday cabin is just to the left of the tree, the one perched at the edge of the mountainside.
We all rejoined at the cabin to watch the Grinch and Charlie Brown Christmas, excited for tomorrow's snow conditions after today's fall.
