For the last couple of days away the weather turned a little colder and we were back to wearing layers of thermals, although the sun still shone brightly all the time. As usual, by the final day I was feeling less sore, fitter and finally could remember the point of skiing and how to do it (except this is what always happens and then when I return a couple of years later I have to start from the beginning again!). I wanted to get the most out of the final day but as I am not at my best in the morning and I also offered to walk the dog before going, I didn't get on to my skis until just before lunch time. The days are short this time of year and by 4.30 the sun sets fast and the temperature drops quickly. I took these pictures while I was waiting for Ian to finish (as he went off to do some more difficult things..)
I rather liked this tree as it got covered in a layer of ice over night which refused to melt all day, even though it was exposed to the sun.
This is the view looking up one of the main slopes at the end of the day, with everyone rushing to do their final run of the day!
The final picture is the view down the valley into the setting sun, from where I was drinking my hot chocolate!
