Four of us converged on the Swiss side of Portes de Soleil for the first outing of the season: David, Mervyn, Steve, Mark.
The sky was clear and the weather and snow were great. We had to keep to the Swiss side but Mervyn and Steve navigated us expertly and made at least one of us realise that a morning’s skiing at Basseruche with his 4 year old granddaughter is not adequate training.
The French side looked strange being so deserted. All that wonderful powder and no lifts open.


Steve managed to find us a cosy little restaurant for lunch and Mervyn provided wine so that we could raise our glasses to absent friends.

A great day out for the start of a very strange season


Mark attempted to capture the full group in a selfie but obviously needs some lessons from Pete the puppy owner.

Great job team! Fabulous pics. Good memory of Dave.
