Woke to minus 12 at the chalet so advised all to tog up warm. Beautiful sunny day and I was out for a ski on my own, no queues anywhere but I didn’t go through Meribel due to the Coupe du Monde training sessions for the races at the weekend. All groomed pistes in fantastic condition and still a few fresh tracks to be found 8 days after the last snow fall. Combe de Pylon excellent on my way home at lunchtime (work to do). At the top of Masse I did the Lac du Lou itinerary and snapped this photo of my tracks with my phone (the ones in the middle). Note that the avalanche risk is 1 out of 5 at the moment. Lac du Lou stable due to skier compaction. Nick www.nickskithreevalleys.co.uk
