The views […]
Em and I popped out between snow storms today to see how things are on and off the pistes. Verdit: Good and much more snow on the way (-20 and white out due this weekend Brrrrr).
The first significant snows have come to the French Hautes Pyrenees with more on the way. Looks to be a good start to the 2016-2017 winter season. The Grand Tourmalet ski resort is due to open at the end of the month and close on teh 16th of April this year.
