A little tour with tot to get some air. The road was completely pisted by the passage of the hundreds of skiers, snow shoers, sledgers and every other kind of engine.

A little afterwork. I started around 16h30 from the car park at 1190 meters but it was no doubt possible to tour from much lower down, from the main road to St Pancrasse at 1000 meters even.

With a return to winter, or Janvril as it is known it seemed like a good idea to take a tour. It was possible to start from le Baure climbing up through the pastures towards the Col du Coq.

A quick "before work" to see what the fresh snow had brought. I started at 7am and with the fog kept my head torch all the way to the summit an hour later. Excellent skiing and no one around.

A Pravouta from le Baure to take advantage of some powder. Skiable off the main tracks where the ground is reasonably open.

Good in parts, like the Curate's Egg. The wind has considerably affected the snow. It has been blowing strongly from the north for a couple of days.

Return to Pravouta by bike. I found skiable snow below the village of le Baure and depths rapidly increased. The big issue was visibility with a real pea souper.

Little after work ski tour to check out the snow. I've been very busy the last few weeks and haven't had much time to get out.

The conditions have considerably improved since the weekend with around 20 to 40 cm of new snow on the start of a base.

I've always thought the Col du Coq should be skiable on cross country skis. The choice was classic or skating.
