25 - January, Day 1 of skiing

Awoke to overcast skies but signs of the cloud thinning.  Soon becoming very clear and sunny but cold and a bit windy.

Met the others and got the hire skis and boots.  Sheila wanted to go to Super Morzine so we prepared to catch the shuttle only for David B to find he didn't have his ski pass.  Waited for him then made way over to the set of blue runs on the way to Avoriaz.  Nice snow but cold on the ski lifts.  my hands got cold so started a couple of hand warmers, which partially did the trick.

Stopped for lunch at the top of Proclou, eggs, rosti and salad for both of us, big portions.  Lost Hilary as we were about to set off.  Eventually got her on the mobile and she'd set off down the slope to the left of the button lift, thinking we'd gone that way when in fact we were waiting not far from the restaurant.  Told the others to do their own thing and went off to find Hilary.  Did Les Lindarets then a couple of times back down to the top of Super Morzine.  Nice conditions but occasional ice patches.

Stopped eventually just above the SM lift, for vin chaud / orangina.
