I'd tried to ski the Royale back in 2019 but sections were closed due to lack of snow. Well it was the end of the season.

The Jura is having another YoYo season with areas below 1200 meters really struggling.

Thought I'd make another early start but didn't get to the slopes until 8.50.

I had to drop the boy off early for his ski but to the Alps so decided to take advantage of the early start to do some cross country skiing and cover a bit more distance.

Last cross country ski this Christmas. I wanted to try out some Atomic Gen skis - these are shaped cross country skis a bit like cross country carving skis.

The SCBC (Brenod Ski Club) sometimes prepares runs above the village.

I wanted to take advantage of the good weather and snow. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? The trails were open on the traverse down to the 4 chemins with good snow, quite rare recently.

Got up early - 9.15 to get a space at the trailhead car park. There is only room for half a dozen cars. Already some people skiing when I arrived.
