Description

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. The snow was a bit loose in places which made for hard climbing as skis tended to sink in. I didn't quite make it to the top as it was getting dark and there was deep windblown snow on the trail - it is just a very short ramp. Much slower then previous times but nice to see the trails open, it's been a long time.

Conditions

Warmish but some wind at altitude. I didn't ski the last few meters due to snow drifts. Good ski descending. Lots of people around and the parking was rammed. Roads were clear.
