Spent the morning doing a mix of classic drills then some skating. The icy trails were not great fun skating so I called it a day around midday.

I didn't ski much but took advantage of the early doors opening to work on my classic ski technique. Trying to improve kick etc.

We'd heard the Sept Laux was opening after another 50cm of fresh snow at the summit of the pistes bringing the total to 1 meter. We made it up around 9.

The forecast was for rain so I was happy to see it was still dry at 9am so I headed to the dyke cycle path with my classic skis as I hadn't done this since the Semnoz.

I hadn't been out on the bike for some time so took the opportunity of a dry day to ride into work then up the Venon climb.

Early November snow is not uncommon but always nice to restart the ski season.

I took advantage of a small weather window in between the rain to ski the big loop with a variation through the campus and around the meander loop.

The fine weather came a bit later than expected so probably taking rollerskis out was not the best plan. I decided to do the superloop clockwise.
