I just arrive in France and the snow started falling in La Grave. Yesterday winds were over 100kmh in the Alpine, it snowed about 30 to 40cms so Lars and I decided to go for a small ski tour.

November 11, 2007. First tour of the season. Drove up to the Duffey and ran into a po-lice blockade. Cop: "It's puking up there!". Us: "Heck ya!, that's why we drove all the way to get here". Cop: "turn around". Tough luck I guess. Instead, we skinned up Whistler. Tough going, but maybe that was the summer legs talking. Either way it was deep, and winter is here to stay. By the looks of opening weekend last week, its a go.
