The lifts are open!


Today was opening day in Verbier, starting the '07-'08 winter season.

There is of course only one first day of the season. When it happens with really, good, old friends (and really, good, new freinds too) in conditions not seen for years, the experience is so much more fine. TeleVerbier opened yesterday to 60cm of fresh snow, under cloudless skies. We skied the sunny front bowl above Verbier town, so never once felt the -15 temps. Fat rock skis were "de rigueur", helping us as we glided over grassy terrain and sometimes rocks!

The forecast is for real warm temps and rain to 1800m. Could be good.
