After yesterdays partial grooming I had an idea they would finish the job to St Hilaire and so it was.

Les 7 Laux was fully today so we took advantage of skiing the three sides of the mountain.

The cloud level has lowered a bit so le Sappey en Chartreuse was in the sun at midday. Time for a lunch skate up to Emeindras.

After going to the col de Marcieu in the morning - red not pisted, blue and green in thick freezing fog I looked for sun and decided to re-go-out to the Col de Porte which the webcam showed to be abov

A nice little classic tour except for some tricky descents which I can't take with my bad ankle but the snow and sun are fantastic. Great to get out from our Grenoble fog for a bit of winter sunshine.

It was slow going getting to the ski area this am and a big scrum for tickets. The lifts seemed to be opening and closing a bit randomly too.

Last outing with the ski club before Christmas. There is a lot of snow and it was quite soft and cut up in places. A big change from last week's rain but hard going skiing.

I wasn't sure if le Sappey had been pisted. About 5-10cm had fallen overnight. I saw Christophe Imbert at the start but he'd not been up today, pisting had been perfect yesterday though.

First day piste skiing since March 2020 and a return to the 7 Laux where we'd finished. Surprisingly not that busy and no queues despite only 2 lifts being open.

SNC club coaching / lessons. Given the weather we did a mix of exercises: Alternate skiing on one ski between the cones, skiing backwards, skiing with eyes shut, skiing with jumps.
