the first 8km was excellent but we hit some cloud which made for some fun skiing for a while.

after a short rest we headed for the highest point on the Mountain. James was delighted that we couldn't reach the top due to high winds.the air at 3032m was thin enough thank you very much.

with all the fresh snow even blue runs were taking it out of unfit legs.so after a few more miles we called it a day before mistakes started happening . if the weather is kind to us we may head to val d'isere tomorrow
