Back up to the Vue-des-Alpes in the hazy sun above the thick fog. The first time taking my skating skis and boy, did it feel shaky on those tiny skis. I tried to remind myself again of the technique and the balance and did some of those exercises. Towards the end, the feeling had come back and I could skate reasonably well again. The conditions were more marginal this time with the snow warmed up and grainy and other spots icy and slippery.
We need snow urgently!! This is the only cross-country ski center far and wide around the area which has decent tracks on at least some well preserved snow.
We talked to a couple from Belfort, France, who seem to come over twice a week for skiing as there is nothing closer to their home.
