Snow and the view

You can see we have had a fair amount of snow. It falls on the fields and the animals are unhappy in the morning - not being able to get at the grass. But most of it melts by evening.
The ski area was going to have a special early off piste open day today but unfortunately it was cancelled due to too much snow (!) and the avalanche risk. It sounded good and we are hoping they will either run the bus during the season or at least do another day. The plan was to open the bottom stage of the cable car so you could ski either back to the bottom of it, or you could go right down the valley to Artigue from where there would be a free bus running back up, every hour. But still it is good there is so much snow suddenly. A few weeks ago we were worried they would not be able to open end of November as planned but now it looks good for the 30th.
