I think it’s fair to say (if I haven’t said this already before) that Judith and I are fair weather skiers. Last year, the conditions were not great so we didn’t go skiing at all. However, the forecast for yesterday was good and it was the opening day of the season for the Nax ski resort, so it just had to be done. I should add that Judith and I are not the greatest skiers in the world but, with views like this (and as you will observe, a definite lack of people), it’s a fabulous way to spend the day.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years. 🎄🎁 Cheers! 🍻

Blissfully abundant of snow and lacking in people — what a fun day that must’ve been. Merry Christmas Mike and Judith.

Yes, it would have been (as the weather was even better) – but Saturday is always a much quieter day due to it being the changeover day (with holiday makers either going home or arriving). I hope your little ones have had a great day. 🙂

It’s not so good here today… After a foot or more of snow overnight, it’s turned warmer and it’s all gone a bit slushy… But I’m sure ‘normal service’ will be resumed shortly. All the best to you and yours for 2018 too. 🎆🎇

Yes, we read how Leicester had ground to a halt due to about an inch. We had another foot of snow last night (to add to the 18″ or so that’s already there). Check out this pic, to see my car (if you can). https://alittlebitoutoffocus.com/#jp-carousel-14969

My partner and I usually ski at Christmas, then stopped going as the snow in Europe was so unreliable, and this year looked like the best year in years! Sod’s Law I guess!

Yes, the last 2 or even 3 years it has been disappointing, with the snow coming around new year or just after. Though ‘a little bird’ told me (last summer) that the winters from this winter onwards were going to be colder than normal (due to the sun not being as active or something like that).
To be certain of snow, (and longer daylight of course) I would recommend mid January through to the end of February, but nothing in life is certain of course…
Sorry for the delay in my reply, but I’ve just got back from my travels. :-

Yes, we should. Clearly, based on recent Olympic results, they are the world experts on everything to do with winter sports. We are sure to learn something! 🙂
