Wishful thinking

Snowing again this morning. So heavy we stay inside and play cards. Late morning Claire, Megan, and I head up the slopes. The snow has eased, but we’re still heading through clouds.

A couple of runs up the Peclet and then Angus joins us for a run or two. There’s a run or two of clear blue sky, but the clouds return. Angus heads home. Claire heads to a wine bar.

Megan and I try some new blues at Moraine. The light is fading, but visibility is good. The snow is beyond perfect. A fitting end to the week.

La Face has no tables. We go to La Chaumière. Claire has steak with morelles - and says it’s the best she’s ever had. Angus eats duck and agrees that this is the best food he’s had this holiday. I opt for baked Mont d’Or with potatoes and crispy veg.

We’re all looking forward to heading back tomorrow. An early start.
