Wet affair in Briançon

Overall impression

Anything but dry play was the order of the day in the French Alps. All our clothes were soaked by the end of the day, even though we tried to make the most of the comfortable gondolas in the Serre chevalier ski area. Fortunately, all the chairlifts had neither seat heating nor wind hoods, so our efforts to stay as dry as possible were in vain. For the overall impression, of course, 5 stars due to the steep group we were skiing with. At the top, we even managed powder turns, despite the poor visibility. It was already 10 cm in the early afternoon. At the bottom, it was the finest snow with only a few patches of shimmering meadow. It should snow another 10 cm by tomorrow.
