Aussois, France

Fresh snow had fallen over night so we were keen to get out on the hill.

The day started with clouds covering everything, so we began just on the lower section, making some good tracks on the spaces besides the pistes.

This kept us occupied for several hours as we explored other tracks through the trees.

After lunch the sun started to peak through the clouds. So we made some tracks on the open slopes, now we could see where we were going.

Each time we came down there was a particular short cut corner that just had to be done. It headed down a steep gully from a cross, on the edge of the return piste, followed by a gully onto the open lower pastures.

This always brought a smile to our faces.
