Super Saturday

After teaching Anna on Saturday morning, I caught up with my wife Harriet for our first 'Love Ski' in several weeks. The weather couldn't have been better, our first sunshine for many days. Plus, heaps and heaps of fresh snow.

It had recently stopped snowing after nearly 48 hours, up to half a metre of the stuff on the upper slopes. In fact we had too much fresh snow for powder skiing, it sounds bizarre doesn't it.

Medium to flat slopes were useless, we stopped dead in our tracks with the sheer resistance. But no way did I want to go on steeper slopes because of the higher avalanche risk, as tempting as it was!?!So we looked around and found the odd safe pitch. By the way, I don't think Harriet was posing for the camera with her smiles, because both of these shots were taken with a zoom lens.

I can't deny that I love the photos that Harriet took of me wearing my new goggles. I just love the reflections of the mountains and weather, and of course the photographer as well.

Yesterday was also amazing weather, sunny and cloudless skies. But today went back to you know what, yep, heavy snowfalls all day. What a fantastic start to March.Martin
