aiguille verte

After a late start, we were finally skinning up. We had a few peeks from the sun until the snow started to fall. 

No great views from the top since a snowstorm had begun. The flakes were huge and beautiful. We skied beside our tracks back down, and hoped to start the drive home before too much accumulated...should make fresh conditions for tomorrow.

Today I tagged along with Jess to start her ski season with a little practice for mama so she will be ready to teach her boys. We didn't have great conditions, icy, no visibility, borrowed skis, snow machine blowing in our faces, but any time in the mountains is a good time.
