This autumn has been just magnificent with summer like temperatures until the end of October. Until now my thoughts have been miles away from skiing. But last weekend I went biking close to the Italian border at Val Ferret. For a big surprise some higher peaks were pretty white. Skiable? Hmmm. What about a little bike & ski mission to start the season? Thanks Roch for buying my half crazy idea ;-) Season is on! Good times!

| We found winter! |

| Unfortunately a big avalanche had taken down most of the snow in the couloir |

| Higher we climbed better it got. |
