One disadvantage of high resorts, they do get a bit white. Snow must be great though :-).

Our flight was the last to land at chambery. After that others were diverted to Lyon. Transfer was ok. 3 hours including stopping for 20 mins to put chains on the bus.

Skiing today was excellent. All the pistes were like skiing off piste.

Warming up though. Rain expected for some of tomorrow, also got windy earlier.

Vin chaud improves everything! :D

The sun came out yesterday. The previous days rain made it hard in the morning. Sun is out again today. Bit of a latest start due to hard day yesterday!
