First Day Up the Mountain

12th December - my first day up the mountain, and it was amazing. Tons of fresh snow and hardly anyone around... brilliant. I was kind of planning to take it a bit easy, not kill the legs too much as can be easy to do on day one of a ski holiday (or season...). However, Ryan & I ultimately decided that a 45 min hike up along the ridge between Avoriaz and Chatel was the way to get the best snow. It turns out that we were right - so right that we got back down and then did the hike again! Not quite the physical easing into the season I had in mind...

This is a photo of the top of the hike looking out over Chatel. This link is to a gallery of the pics from that day that I put up on the main website. Happy days.
