Flocon de neige

A decent amount of snow fell during the night which pleased us because the last snowfall was 27th December so a wee top up was needed. It was a beautiful morning; clouds were swirling around the valley and mountains with sunshine breaking through them. James said it reminded him of his walking holidays in the Alps when the clouds would suddenly part to reveal a beautiful view, making it seem even more stunning than if you had seen it all along. We skied around Le Corbier and over to St Jean d'Arves where we had a quick coffee and saw a beautiful little dog being pulled along on a sledge!! The little girls who were with him let me take his photo and told me his name was Flocon! So sweet, but I did wonder if Flocon was a bit cold since he was not able to run about! Then we went back over to Le Corbier and had a relaxing lunch in Le Coq du Bruyère which is on the Pirouette piste below the Pointe du Corbier. After lunch the boys took James further up the mountain while I made my way down Pirouette and Saut right to the door of our ski lockers. After those first two big ski days I'm finding that four hours skiing is about enough for me. I love that our apartments are right on the piste and I was soon sitting in the sunshine on the balcony reading my book.
