Indian Summer is Over


Eeeks! It has been a while since I wrote! The rock was excellent, and the ice is coming along. (photos)

The peaks and cliffs all over the Alps were in superb shape this October and November. What a glorious time it was to be in the hills. I took the camera here and there, with mixed results. What a joy it is to be climbing hot rock this time of year. And it's just around the corner!

But now it's -10C outside, and I'm happy for the big pile of wood outside my door. The ice is coming into shape, though rather slowly. It is so dry that there is very little water running.

TeleVerbier opened Friday. There's not much snow up there, but they have done a good job of making snow. It was already possible to ski down to Ruinettes. What a blast that was to get on the board and arc some turns on snow.

The forecast is calling for variable weather the next few days. It should warm slightly by the end of the week, even giving us an episode of Foehn.
