Mountain air (Friday)

Arise at 6.30am. Leisurely start and in the car park up the hill for 8am. It was already half full!!!

Bought 2x4 day tickets which seems to be the most cost effective option. And hit the slope - caught the first train up to the top. It's cold and visibility is questionable, but the snow is pretty flipping brilliant especially if you venture off piste a bit.

T-bars and super quick Poma (button) lifts do wonders for snowboarders inner thighs. And if like me you have a tendency to sit down at every opportunity, then you end up on your arse looking stupid slightly more often than is healthy!

Lunch in the carpark for sarnies, followed by more packed trips on the funicular to enjoy almost whit eout conditions. Mmm, not sure about this.

It threatened to turn blue, but it went the other way with the clouds coming down not up, so I packed up and left Dave on the hills. Obviously it then cleared to blue sky and he had a great hour or so right at the end of the day, for which he appologises.
