There was snow over night and more forecast so we headed to Vercorin which is set in the trees and has a long telegraphic to get to the village and the a long bubble lift to the top. We kept doing long runs from top to bottom until the visibility and wind caused them to shut the lifts. A great day in some fresh power and getting more and more confident with my new skis

The first day we headed to the nearest lift up to Grimentz. It was a wonderful blue bird day , no wind. I was a little apprehensive about how my new skis and boots would be but they are shaping up to be lovely. We stuck to blues with an odd red to get our ski legs going.

Now Anne Marie has a van, this is our first van trip with four vans. I couldn’t meet up with the others in time to set of up the hill with them but I did meet them as they were coming down. It was claggy wet and windy at the top!! but it would be my last hill of the year – probably! We then all ate together in my van at the van friendly Vat o’burn car park. The next day the weather was still appalling so we had a wee walk around the lock and headed home. A nice we trip though.
