PERFECT DAY!

After such a fantastic start to the season it would’ve been a shame not to continue in the same vein. But continue it has! It snowed about 20-30cm yesterday and today there was beautiful blue sky and sunshine – perfect for fair weather snowboarders like myself!! After a fantastic morning buzzing around with perfect snow everywhere, a lunch time stop for a few vin chauds was in order. It was gorgeous sitting in the warm sunshine at the Pomme de Pin in Linderet, a little suntrap bowl. It seemed to be getting a little busier over Avoriaz way by lunch time so after re-fueling I decided to head home via Super Morzine, and found that there was hardly a soul there, and there was just enough powder left for a play between the trees. If every Sunday was this good I would definitely be living for the weekends. The only bad thing about today was that I forgot to take my camera to get some snaps of the amazing views to post here to show you how truly beautiful this area is. Never mind, there’s always tomorrow.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year to everyone! 2008 has dawned beautifully over Morzine, with sunshine, clear blue sky and fantastic snow conditions – it couldn’t be more perfect really, so let’s hope this is a good omen for the season to come. There may be a few sore heads around this morning with a few wobbly legs on the pistes too, but nothing a tasty vin chaud on the mountain in the sunshine can’t cure! Morzine was rocking last night with parties all over going on till the wee, small hours and enough fireworks to blow up the houses of parliament! The atmosphere was a carnival one and well worth today’s hang over! I have a good feeling about this year, let’s hope it carries on as it started.
