I had to drop junior off at 9am so not much time so I thought la Feclaz would be an idea. In the end 10am was a bit late.

I wanted to cover all the pistes today which I did.

Grand Rocher ski race at Barioz. It is a relay. First part is a 1150 meter skimo race. 120 racers set off in a mass start and there are 5 transitions to do en-route.

I didn't set off with any clear ideas but the aim was to ski around for a couple of hours and do a bit of distance My idea was to warm up on the shorter, inner "loipe" and work outwards.

Too much snow to go further afield this morning so I did some cross country American style. That is, making tracks around the local football pitch.

This is becoming our regular winter ride but the singles are too wet at the moment until I service my front fork.

The link between le Sappey and St Hugues hasn't been prepared for 4 years. I'd lost faith they'd ever do it again but then a message from Chamechaude nordic, it would open this weekend.

From Pipay climb to the chalet de Pipay dessus then turn NE to climb to the ridge between the Soleil and Loup drags.
