Perfect ending

This afternoon M and I escaped towards the Bernina pass and found the first pisted section of the cross-country ski trails which have just opened. We got out to dust the cobwebs of the skis and see if we could still remember what to do. Half an hour was enough for our first trip out and enough to make me realise I have all sorts of muscles in strange places which don't normally get exercised (a few aches and pains this evening). Never mind the aches and pains and the cold, it was just wonderful out there and we had the most amazing time!
From start to finish, today was just one of those "good to be alive" days. This shot was taken at the end of the day.
