We went skiing today!

The ski area decided to open the off piste from the top of the Pic du Midi for a bonus 7 days from today. The season passes are still valid.
We jumped out of bed this morning bright and early - this is the view from the house of the Midi at 7am.
And rushed up there to get on the first lift.

All the skiing is off piste. We have not skied off the top before and were glad to get a bonus chance to do so this season - particularly as it is included on our season pass! It was a bit tricky with no other lifts running to manage to end up back at the car - it took a bit of climbing to achieve.

Honestly this was a really steep climb

We are going over there

Looking back the way we came - nearly down

Back in the ski area!
The dog didn't come on the skiing, but we took her for a walk in the snow afterwards
