Tour of all the open pistes at Barioz today in skating mode: Ramiettes, Creve Coeur, Refuge and Luisard. Very tiring conditions with soft base and fresh snow on the runs. Hence my slow 46 minute climb rather than the usual sub-30 minutes. A bit colder but still running water here and there with some ice patches on the runs here and there at 1350 meters, fine just a bit higher up. Very sunny day and the mountains of the Belledonne were plastered with snow.
Weather: Colder, -3 at 1300 meters. Sunny.
Access: Snow from the Col du Barioz at 1000 meters. Snow tires necessary.
