In search of snow.

It hasn't snowed in a month, and temperatures have been above freezing for 2 weeks straight. The local ski trails have all closed... so Ruth and I traveled to the Vaud Alpes (4 hours away) for a change in language (French) and some high altitude skiing. Le Mosses, the sight of the Swiss Ski Championship last weekend went to great measure to have good ski trails. For 10 km, they drove a snowblower on each side of the trail to throw snow on the track! Hello carbon footprint!
More importantly though, the views were pretty amazing and we are looking forward to some summer hiking here.
