Its wet in the Jura!!!

Well, not exactly wet, but 'frozen' wet. SNOW. There is already over 1m10cm of snow at la Vattay!!!!

Anyway, tuesday didint work, wednesday didn't work, I finally got out yesterday under clear skies and -10C. Brrrr. Enormous amounts of snow. Signposts already buried up to below the "one way" symbol. Amazing.

.....and a new experience....my light gave out with 5km to go. After my eyes adjusted I could just barely make out the piste.....anyway I managed to ski all the way home (and especially down) without falling over. Yay me!!! Note to self - take a back up light when skiing alone at night!!

Anyway, next week, I expect to have some ski compatriots. Wax your skis, get lessons, BUY SOME BOOTS if you have to, but....see you up there!!!

    And you are right, there's an indecent quantity of snow up there.
    Leaving now for more....
    Up for the weekend? Sunday looks better weather.

    1. Sunday could work - I have to take Jason to La Dole for (ick)...snowboarding (grr) with friends so we could probably work something out.
