Weather Windows !

H

Lying in bed trying to fall asleep while the wind is howling outside is not good , not because of my room it's perfect I love it ,not because of the noise I've got some ear plugs I can put in , but because I know if the wind doesn't die down there will be no lifts open to the higher slopes and one of the reasons we chose this resort was because we knew there was a glacier so even with little snow we would still get some skiing done , but not if its too windy for the chairlifts and bubble cars to operate , the condition of the lowers slopes is really bad , we need some snow we need the temperature to drop and we need the wind to stop ! A good nights sleep but the morning confirmed our fears there was no point in rushing to get on the slopes it was wet and windy outside , we checked the web and most of the lifts were shut ! So we took our time had a lovely breakfast Bob hurt his knee yesterday and didn't feel it was worth further injury to go out in those conditions , so he is taking the family out to the next village in his hire car and going to collect some supplies from the bigger supermarket , 

     It was 12:55 when me Ali and cammy got onto the slopes, it was a cold and wet chair lift up with plenty spin drift at the top ,but at least the slopes were quiet the snow conditions up the top on that side of the valley were OK ( we found the other side icy later ) but the lower slopes were very patchy with wet puddles in places , we stopped for lunch at the same restaurant and were given a free  ginepe today after lunch ( the local liquer ), we kept skiing until after 3pm and some of the runs were reasonable but it was hard work for very little reward so we called it a day , a decent run to the street not far along the road from the hotel meant a short walk to our ski lockers , but the hotel lift is out of order and we are on the 4th floor so it was a bit of a stomp up the stairs , the whole group were together again for a short while ,then me Ali cammy and Alison went to secret bar and  after a few games of pool in secret bar then the polar bear bar before heading back for the lovely dinner Joyce and Bob had sorted for us , Dinner was fantastic Joyce had done a fantastic job , we were all stuffed after 3excellent courses with beers and wine and all sneaked off to our rooms for a wee nap ! Will we make it out later ?! I'm going for my snooze SO we shall see 😉
