Getting back on skis 12 Kg lighter and a whole lot fitter than at the end of last season – is an amazing feeling! Right from the first turn it felt completely “at home” and all the physical signals and feelings were in place – especially the most recent things I’d been working on technically through last winter. Snow levels are not great yet – but that’s completely normal this early on in the season. October and November have been unusually mild – but that will no doubt end up being a good thing as nature tends to balance things out over time – so there will be some cold and wet stuff coming when it’s needed. The view behind the cable car over in Val seems to show a bit more snow present over there.
