Sunshine and Snow



We looked at the mountain webcams and as the sun was shining we decided to head up to Monts d’Olmes, which is near Lavelanet and about an hour and a quarter for us. We were amazed how little snow there was; much less than our last visit on Christmas Eve. The last fall had been on 4th February. The resort was fairly busy with groups of all ages having their skiing lessons and families enjoying the winter sunshine. About a third of the runs were open but the snow must have come from the snow cannons. Unfortunately there was no snow at all on the little toboggan run, which is probably about my level. Instead we sat outside watching everyone else skiing down the mountainside whilst having a very enjoyable lunch in the warm sunshine.
