Ski Touring – Ski Rando

Snow was forecast for Friday onwards so Joan and I want to our appartement in the hills.  I spent 4 days laying the first traces on the North slopes of the Bargy.  No car just straight out of the door and back, shower, munch – heaven in deep deep powder.

The dog loved it too.

This is one walk – up to Lac Benit – one of my favourite places;

This was the view out in the morning

Mont Saxonnex is a small French village ski domain with a lot of mountain to explore.
