Breaking my cardinal keep it to one-minute rule, as I had varying amounts of footage, this is slightly longer than usual, at 3:45, but shows Ullr enjoying himself, and that was quite stressful as he disappeared three times following deer tracks, though as you can see he was actually quite useful at breaking trail when following a deer track.
There's also a speedy transition sequence in more ways than one, plus Ullr making a bed
Plus I had a moment where I thought I'd lost company with part of my pole, I have edited out the brief profanity.
As you'll see I encountered varying snow-pack, and breaking trail was tough at times and coverage was a bit light with many a stump on show which made one ski a little more cautiously.
And to cap it all, this morning we were in the parking for the lifts and opened the van up to see that my skis and poles were not in the back!
So I drove the 30mins into the next Valley, La Clarée, Val-des-Prés / Névache and sure enough they were there in the parking put to one side, though on closer examination I must have driven over the poles!
That was down to getting Ullr in the van which he hates, and quietening him down etc with food and then having a senior moment of forgetting to put the skis in the van
Ullr looks in seventh heaven. Jasper loves deer chasing too, but has much shorter legs and fur, so might struggle a bit off piste on ideal conditions. But since I've rarely ever seen those he might be alright in a decent equafleece.
The issue is he's not welcome in the hotels of the prior gnarlibug and sopb (sp) and would not be able come on the outings there.
Plus a holiday is in part a holiday from obligations, and leaving doggy behind, much as I love him, would be rather good.
