We hit the trails en famille on Sunday. Most stunning sort of day to ski. Clear, crisp but not cold, lots of snow and happy ski bunnies who just hopped along to their lessons. Their parents had a chance to ski together and chat and at the end of the afternoon, we did a short ski all together, which I hope is just a taste of things to come.
Big mister broke in his new skate skis - and traveled about twice as fast as I did... Little mister was not put off by having forgotten his waterproof mitts at school. Young Ms. was radiant, jubilant, thrilled with her time out on skis. She had a huge grin on her face every time I saw her. Meanwhile, I rejoiced in the beauty of the setting, the weather and my family's health and happiness.
You all know that my first post-retirement port of call will be Marrakech. My better half hankers to spend the following year (or winter) a 10 minute drive from groomed trails.
Until then, every Sunday till the end of February, all or most of the family will be heading north for the day - and a few weekends - for some skiing. Lucky, lucky us.

where do you guys go Joanna? sarah
Horseshoe. We did a ski-test our first winter here and found it the most laid-back and friendly for all ages and stages. None of the options are cheap though...
Will you come out with us in the next 2 seasons?
