Well it’s a leap year, so linguistically speaking today really SHOULD be the day I manage a 360 at last. I’ve been trying to summon the courage for years but still only manage 180 degrees before landing backwards. Maybe if all else fails I’ll just try going down backwards and landing forwards – that will probably look quite impressive (which is, after all, the main point of trying…)

It looks like the weather is breaking, too, at last. It’s been sunshine since a big snowfall at the beginning of February, and although the slopes are really in very good condition in most places, it really is about time for some more snow to keep things fun.

I went out and taught a friend who’s in town how to telemark this morning – it really is very easy to get to grips with if you already know how to ski and have a sense of bravado. He got it in no time at all and looked very good after just a few hours. However the weather was closing in bringing rain, and the clouds coming right down to the village,  so we packed it in and went back to the flat to develop a Facebook application..! Such is the life of an eNomad!

It’s WARM here at the moment, so I really really hope it cools down before precipitating — it would be so very disappointing for it all to be lost as rain.

Fingers crossed in the Alps.
