Here is the blog of the ski day that never was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the change of date of this week\u2019s ski outing which was probably wise weatherwise, it was nevertheless unsuccessful in attracting a quorum, nay, even a single participant to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were a number of apologies for absence proffered, mostly of an orthopaedic nature, but I suspect the perception of the prevailing skiing conditions \u2013 poor snow and potentially crowded pistes \u2013 also contributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps also the purpose of these ski outing should be clarified. We are no longer (if ever?) a group of thrill-seeking, dare-devil powder hounds, who are impatient to get the first cable car, think lunch is a Mars bar on a chairlift and ski until the pisteurs clear the slopes. No, we are pleasure-seeking, mountain-loving, epicureans who just enjoy doing it at a high-level and where the uphill effort element is largely removed from the equation. Hikers and snow-shoers take note! Sounds to me like the criteria for a perfect day out with good company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next outing is provisionally scheduled for Thursday 22 February. Let\u2019s see what the weather gods will have conspired to provide by then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
