Ski safari

The sun came out first thing and I had persuaded two friends to join me on a less frequented cross-country trail which goes along the river and then through the woods to Chapella and back. It was only 15km but it took us over 3 hours (including stops)! Some parts were pisted and some not, the snow was soft, we had to dodge the piste machine a few times.
On the return we stopped for refreshment (in the backpack), M's chocolate banana cake and some peppermint tea! Re-energised we made it back and then it was time to relax for the rest of the day.
Starting to snow again now.
