Sun, skiing and summits

What a cracking first day on the slopes. With the sun shining and great snow conditions (pretty amazing as there's been no snow here for several weeks) we had a brilliant day.

Here I am ready to go - I know I look like an extreme skier but I'm not really. The helmet came about after coming back from France a couple of years ago with 3 stitches in my head.

Just having a quick break with the Matterhorn in the background.
