Sunny days

The last three days have been brilliant sunshine.   Friday was cold and bright but it has been getting steadily warmer.   Friday we skied all the Croix De Christ runs and the Epaule before heading home.  On Saturday we went over to Cote where they are building the ski cross and mogul courses for next week's World Cup races.  The tourist office gave us a revised programme as Squaw Valley races were cancelled because of a lack of snow (so it happens in America too) which means there is a big programme of races.   They start on Wednesday and go through to Sunday.   They are usually good fun to watch, particularly the ski cross.  Then today we found a couple of off piste runs to do which had not been skied too much.   It was not quite spring snow but very nearly, and that was enjoyable.  It's the end of the French holidays so we are hoping everything will go back to being as quiet as usual, although it was not particularly busy today.   Here is a pic of the Coq run on the Croix de Christ
