Tot tested out his new touring skis with Fritschi touring bindings. All ok and much easier than last season's snowshoe touring. Very pleasant little ski tour. All quiet in the resort.

Short tour with junior (who was testing lighter TSL snow shoes) to l'Alpette which is a small field (hence the name) on the Aulp du Seuil climb.

Tot was moaning about the ski resorts being closed so I suggested we climb to the top of the ski runs at St Hilaire.

A tour of the pistes and off pistes of the old "phantom village".

I thought about doing the Puy Mary or Puy d'Arse but there was not enough snow. A little trip to get the ski touring legs working again. Very pretty scenery with the little Cantal mountains.
