Snow and wind stop play ❄️💨🌨

[Sandie1961]

We had a good day yesterday and covered quite a good distance. Last night the wind got up and we were woken at 3.00am by it rattling the windows. Then, just as we were thinking we might go out, because they’d finally started to open some lifts, the blizzard started and, as you can see, the visibility is a little limited! Now deciding whether to brave the weather just to go for a walk. Still, forecast for the rest of the week is for sunshine 😃😃

Boooo!

[Shake-and-run Graduate10]

Running in that will be a challenge!

Fingers crossed the sun comes out

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Crumbs, that’s a blizzard alright. Hope you enjoy your walk instead Sandie! ⛄️ ❄️ 🥶

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Funnily enough our walk finished with beer and chips 😂 Reckon we’d earned it - it is bitter out there and still blowing a gale! Fingers crossed for tomorrow 🤞

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Phwoar, beer and chips. Lunch of champions! 😋

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Crikey, that looks grim - hope the sun comes out soon ! You’ll have to post a before and after pic! Have fun!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Definitely- fingers crossed for a Bluebird day tomorrow 🤞

That looks like skiing in Scottish mists - “ski by feel!” 😳😂

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

I am such a fair weather skier! Probably why we’ve never skied in Scotland 😂

Good luck for the rest of the week Sandie. We did brave the snow for half a day but it was ridiculous. We went down the same blue run about four times. The rest of the week, with the sun out, I felt I knew every inch of that run (including the bit where I went off piste by accident - was really funny being abe to see what I'd ended up in - nothing like as dramatic as it had felt at the time!). A walk, nice lunch and lazy afternoon is a good call!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Ah Linda there was no chance - only 10 lifts open all day and 4 of those were the beginners’ moving carpets. The snow on its own might have been ok but 70kph winds. Even if they had been running, no way would I have got on a chairlift! Hoping for a real bluebird day tomorrow

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Not sure a walk, let alone a run would be a good idea judging by the photo above, I assume it did not last long and you got your walk or run once the sun came out.

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Al, it is still snowing but due to stop overnight 🤞so hoping to get out skiing tomorrow. We did manage a little walk, but only as far as a bar for beer and frites 🍺🍟 Still ended up looking like yetis 😂

👍 🌨

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Gosh! Where in the country are you? I’m in the southwest and we haven’t had any snow. Yet. We’ve had the wind though 💨

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Haha, we’re in Tignes in the French Alps! It’s snowed all day and we have had about 40cm of fresh snow. Just keeping fingers crossed that the wind dies down and the snow stops as forecast tomorrow so we can go and play 😃

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Aha! I wondered. Thought maybe you were in the far north of the Hebrides!

Your photo looks like a scene from “Where Eagles Dare”. Have fun ⛄️

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Ah the joys of skiing - you want the snow but on your own terms. Hopefully the pistes are fantastic tomorrow

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Absolutely GTB! 🤞

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Beer and chips? What more could you ask for? Oh you are going to be a powder bunny tomorrow Sandie. 🐇. Have fun!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Ooh I hope so Dexy. Still sounds a bit wild though! We are going out whatever

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

When we had weather like that in Tignes, UTS said I skied better when I couldn’t see how steep it was ahead. 😂😂 I remember skiing from one lollipop to the next. A bit scary.
