Mostly Warm....

Skiing in April is always fun. It's often powdery, usually warm and quite social. It's about long lunches after powder filled mornings, peeling off the layers and sitting on restaurant terraces. Not every day is sunny, which is good, because that empties the slopes and covers the hills with powder!


Getting a table at the Buvette was not a problem that day

The L'Omen Rosso Avalanche from our lounge. This slide skilled 3 ski tourers.
Wishing he'd ridden his Thunders that day, and not some soft skinny Salomons
The Powder Virus
Plenty of fresh snow to play in off piste

Off piste with some friends. Lots of fresh snow and more low clouds!

Crossing a stream is a larger problem if you have short legs!
