Skiing @ Auron

Winter's been a bit of a slow starter here in France, as it was back in Finland over the Christmas holidays (and in particular over new year in Megeve, where we didn't even get to do any skiing). But finally, the snow was starting to appear in the southern Alps, so time to hit the slopes methinks!

Snow was still sparse in Greolieres, where we often go, as it's the closest ski resort, so the choice was between Auron and Isola 2000 in the Mercantour national park. Usually we go to Isola 2000, but this time we decide to head to nearby Auron. Conditions were pretty much spot on - plenty of snow on the slopes (more than I was hoping for, especially as there wasn't much to be seen on the way to Auron) and a clear blue sky.

We spent a wonderful day enjoying the snowy slopes. We didn't feel overly ambitious skiing-wise, so mostly did relaxed blue slopes, even if we did do a couple of red ones. No black slopes this time around ;-). Conditions really were pretty much perfect, and what's best, there weren't all that many people on the slopes either.

All in all, a fantastic way to spend a sunny January Sunday!
