The avalanche risk finally dropped enough to open the Beldina nordic ski area; part of the 7 Laux ski area.

Return to Emeindras with skate skis as the trails had been pisted. However I broke a basket on one of my poles which meant for a bit of lopsided skiing.

A quick tour on nordic touring skis towards Emeindras above le Sappey.

After some research I decided that the Plateau de Retord was the best bet for the weekend.

First nordic ski of the season. Basically did a return along the piste to the Col de la Republique.

The Col de la Loge is nestled in the heart of the Massif Central region of France between Saint-Etienne, Clermont-Ferrand and Lyon.. . It has activities throughout the year.

The cross country ski area of Meygal offers 44km of varied trails between 1200 and 1450 meters altitude.

48 days after my operation for a broken femur a bit of gentle classic skiing on the Beldina pistes. The ski resort of les 7 laux was totally rammed but I found a space at the Nordic car park.

The only good day of the week was an excuse to take the morning off work to do some chores (cake baking !) and get in an early lunch nordic ski at Chamrousse.

A short afternoon nordic ski tour to check out the slopes of the Charmant Som. The snow was not too bad considering it had rained a bit.
