Skiing, Will It Never End?


Well it just never seems to stop snowing up here.  Good Friday saw us start the Easter hols with a stop off at the Lecht for some skiing on the way to the cottage.  Absolutely fantastic conditions, just look at how much of the snow fences are actually showing, that means there is about 3 ft of snow base and further down the runs the fences have dissappeared completely.  The weather was alpine, freezing temperatures, no wind and blue skies in-between the snow showers. We were first on the ski-lifts at 8 and finally gave up at 1pm after 5 hours solid skiing! There was some serious sun tanning of the few bits of exposed skin (nose and cheeks).

Snow conditions were nothing short of superb with acres of powder and packed powder snow.  Heavenly! Here is a video of Ellie skiing the Buzzard.
