Ski nocturne

Ski nocturne is French and means night skiing. We had been talking about this for some time and found a couple night skiing places quite close to Grenoble. This Tuesday Johanna and myself were making a run for it, going to Le Collet d'Allevard. You can actually buy a combo ticket for a decent price that includes a ski pass followed with Fondue Savoyard or Raclette however this evening we were going for the skiing only. All was not well this evening some drawbacks experienced was because of the recent warmth in the area. We were skiing in about 5 degrees above zero making the slopes quite hard and icy. I also managed to get rid of my ski goggles, this happened when I fell off pist in a thick layer of snow, of course it was impossible to find them in the dark, the goggles was also white not the best of colours when you want to find something in snow. I also received some help from Johanna going off-pist with her new skis looking, but it felt as if the goggles was completely swallowed by the darkness this evening.

All in all it was a great evening in spite of the lost goggles, the weather was clear and some decent skiing focusing on some serious ski style studies. The night view was also great with Chambery city lights down in the valley combined with a clear sky and moonshine.
