Description

Les 7 Laux was fully today so we took advantage of skiing the three sides of the mountain. The Pleynet lift is still slow despite having a moving carpet on it, a shame as it is sunny in the winter mornings and is not well enough exploited. Nearly every lift was running but there were not that many people around. Which was nice. My ankle was playing up on the final long run down the Vallons to Pleynet so we called it a day there and headed home. Still not bad, survived over three hours skiing if not quite as fast as back in the day. The vallons was good with soft snow that hadn't mogulled up too much.

Conditions

Good piste conditions but quite busy in some places with people who've forgotten basic safety rules during Lockdown.
