First Flegere powder day

29th Dec: Forced Jason and Charlie to get up early with me. Good choice. Made it to Flegere by 10am, and lapped the bottom chair waiting for Index. Got almost the first lift up Index.

First run down the black was epic with some really deep powder although occasionally tails clipped the moguls underneath. Then another 3-4 runs trekking further and further to skiers' left. Some light fluffy powder.

Final run of the day traversed far left into the Floria runout. Lots of slides everywhere. Despite the avalanche control and debris hopefully having sured up the terrain a little, we stayed safe picking the terrain appropriate. Last stretch under the 3 man chair was 1 long, fast, untracked run through a large gully. Awesome. Called it a day as Charlie had work. Flegere, where we had one of the best powder days of last season, was awesome as usual.

A beautiful day
