... by brian, aged 37 3/4  and the family, out in the Valais for a long weekend.
Conditions, in a word, are awesome. In 2 words they're ******* awesome !! It was baltic freezing but bluebird sunny, really quiet, and tons of lovely fresh yummy snow 
I didn't take many photos, a combination of stoke and frozen fingers aren't conducive to photo stops, so by the time I got round to it each day, the low sun doesn't help, sorry about that 
Friday, powder
Lac de Moiry, half frozen
Evening view from the balcony
Saturday, with the wee man, the powder was even but it would've been a sin to have stopped to get the camera out.
Sunday, more powder
Spot the Matterhorn
loadsae snow

Looks good brian, always nice to see pics like these, glad you had a great time and the pass was ok, Thought the Swiss side was fine for a mountain road, it was the Italian side that I had Probs with, and that was in the summer
Edited to say
£52 for a weekends skiing, thats nothing short of highway robery man, I hope you have complained in the strongest terms and have also instigated the correct diplomatic procedures.

Nick L, is that until you go skiing? You've got to book something before then! Space in my apartment next month for a very reasonable fee...

Nick L, alas! What about treating your good wife to an early Silver Anniversary present? Sort of nine months early?

snowbunny, brian, ha ha...yep, skied it... so remember it now... I will try to get down to the valley from there...or might have to bootpack a ridge from there to do it, but I don't think it is far.
Good to hear that there is already more snow now than late jan last year.....

FAQ
Feb half term will be my next visit. There's bags of snow down to the dam and on the chamois, I reckon they'll open that for xmas.
