~ Saturday 3rd January 2009
The New Year arrived with 30cm of fresh snow and perfect blue sky weather. Arolla is busy - by Arolla standards! This morning we were the only people on the lifts and the only people on Monts Rouges for a 600m powder descent.
After lunch we skinned up to la Cassorte, then Col des Ignes and 1500m of powder down to the road at Satarma and a well-earned coffee at the Pension Lac Bleu
