Butterflies all over the place! The weather is definitly getting better and better despite some periodic rains, the warm brise brought us so many of them, that I decided to picture it.
And for the ones that haven’t seen our new place yet, here is the Chalet. So much better than our last place. We are really enjoying it.
This past week, Arno and I were in vacation at Briançon, in the Hautes-Alpes. We had a wonderful weather, warm and very sunny, even our skin can prouve it!
With Arno’s brother, We went for 2 days of ski at Montgenèvre and Puy St Vincent ski resort. I had to say that Puy St Vincent is way better than Montgenèvre ski resort, because of the level of ski (red level ski trail).
On the following days, we went for 2 ski tours. One at the “Col de Thures” (2100m) and the other at the “Col de Laurichard” (2700m).
Col de Thures
We had a hard time going up cause, the warm weather made the snow very sticky, just take a look at the pic above, the snow under our skis like gum on the pavement.
Col de Laurichard
And finally the best part of this tour…
Before I go for another ski tour, I need to expose you the last and not the least ski tour Arno and I made this past saturday in the Vercors.
He had a really warm day, the snow was at the rendez-vous of course and we enjoyed the fantastic view that we could not see the first time we went to the Cornafion.
Because “Le Cornafion” was the place where I did my first ski touring last year and because we had a bad experience there, we really wanted to try again but this time in better conditions.
So, here we went and….. were not disappointed.
In the woods
Going up…
From the top, really worth it!!!
This past saturday, Arno, my friend Ingrid and I had an excellent time in the Chartreuse. It was Ingrid’s first time for ski touring and even with some difficulties she really loved it.
The weather was suprising and all in contradiction, cloudy, a little bite of snow and somehow we managed to get a little bite of sun once in a while during the day.
We actually went for a long distance tour but not very high (approximatly700m). We first went up to the “Pinéa” (1771m), then down half way and up again to the “Mont Fromage”.
The thing we appreciated the most was the snow, it was just the best snow I ever had during a ski tour. Going down hill, it felt like we were flying on top of the snow, it was so light.
Just perfect!!
This last Saturday, Arno and I went for a ski tour to the “Pic Saint Michel” (1966m) in the Vercors. The weather was cloudy and windy at the top, but we had a good time. The hike took 2H to go up for 700m.
