It's been one of the worst snow droughts that many can remember here in Serre Chevalier, that said, pistes have held up really well, but the off-piste has been dire!
So we had circa 25cms overnight and we were very excited, I opted to go with my rock hoppers as I knew we'd been going through to the rocks and tree stumps, and I was not too disappointed as in the third run I hit something and lost my ski for what seemed an eternity with me thinking I might well have to walk out minus one ski, but patience paid off and I found it about three meters below where hit the obstacle.
Wind's became very strong and lifts were starting to close and we kept trying to ski fresh untracked and stay clear of the many people doing the same.
In the end, we had to resort to a hike to get away from them and it was stupidly windy along the ridge but at least it was a tailwind, and it really made the turns look dramatic with the snow hanging in the air and then being blown horizontal.
So was not too bad a birthday for @irbis, along with @KenX,

Excellent.
And the Rando Chiens must be fairly porky from lack of chasing....

@valais2, poor "old" Rando Chiens have been taking a back-seat/rest with the current snow conditions.
Kiki is now too old to go the distance with a complicated snow-pack and the distances we're having to do to get to the snow, and it's a similar story for Beanie as she can't cope with heavy wind affected snow, hopefully, and if, we ever get any Spring Snow she'll be back out.
In the meantime, Ullr is coming into his own, though he's making the ultimate sacrifice to the Snow-Gods next week......snip, snip
@Weathercam, that’s a big and happy dog. Still cuts the turns, just like the terriers (when they braved the deep rather than following your tracks). I do wonder what’s going through their heads when they are following….
