Description

Classic skiing. The return of snow at the Plan des Hotonnes / Plateau de Retord this Sunday after about a month. , I always take classic at the "start" of the season but not really on form today, I was knackered at the end which you can see in the video.


Conditions

Not easy for the skaters as the snow on the climbs was very soft. Ok on classic. A lot of snow on the roads to the ski area. The alpine skiing was working.
