The skiing continues to be fabulous (although rain and snow are in the forecast for the end of the week...).
I saw Anna skiing with her school this afternoon (as I was sneaking in a couple of hours at Brevant, still trying to improve). I saw her with her class from the chairlift, and she was going (deliberately!) frontwards, turning 180, going backwards, 180, frontwards, 180 etc. It was amazing to see, and it's always fun to see part of the girls' life that's separate from us.
We went skiing as a family on Sunday for the first time - and even Zoe is now at a level where she can ski the blue runs with us down to the chairlift. She does tire first, not surprisingly, so Zoe and I continued our 'hot chocolate' tour of the local ski hills.

I continued my enjoyment of the 'cruisey blues' at Brevant today. It was perhaps the most beautiful day I've seen for skiing in Chamonix - cold, but with deep blue skies, blinding snow and brilliant sunshine. It's hard to do its beauty justice.
