Orienteering 50:00 [2] 2.1 km (23:49 / km)
ahr:147 max:174 shoes: Saucony Peregrine GTX

So there was no snow in Villars to go skiing so we started on a little hike and then decided why not go and try and do the long distance course from JEC at the top of the mountain? It can’t be THAT snowy up there if it’s so rainy down here, right?

WRONG

At 1800m, there was a hecka lotta snow up there! An average of knee deep in the woods but up to mid thigh in the clearings. Snowshoes would have been nice...

Anyways, super cool area even if we were going at snail pace. Features were easy to find and it was so calm and lovely in the woods. Fun stuff!

Other (Hiking ) 20:00 [1] 1.63 km (12:16 / km)

Good long ski at Ovronnaz! Some slick parts but also some sticky parts made it tiring but there was a lovely section that we did a few times. Followed by pizza and some relaxing time in a thermal pool in the mountains. Still not over it.

Ski at Col des Mosses. Started out nice with a little snow but then it got really windy and there was slush coming down pretty much horizontally. We called it quits and then went for a hike instead.
My ankles are DYING these new ski boots need to break in already.

A late afternoon ski along one of the trails we were on in the morning, but from the other side. I was STRUGGLING with the climb and the altitude oh my. Downhill to the finish was good fun :)

Nice training at Serroue focusing on compass. It was slick in the woods from rain so it was pretty slow. But some nice open parts were fun! Mistakes on 3 and 9.
Then my lower leg started hurting pretty badly, as it was in the summer. But my knee was okay!

First ski at Vue des Alpes in Switzerland! Foggy on the way up but the wind cleared the clouds away for stellar sunny views!!
The first 20mins I felt like crap with the fact that I haven’t trained recently and the altitude but after that I felt good and knee wasn’t sore!
