Les Diablerets, Switzerland, 27 Nov 2004
28th November 2004
Finally, they’ve opened up the glacier area at Les Diablerets. It’s pretty small, one chair and three t-bars plus a couple of cable-cars for access. The terrain isn’t actually very challenging and it’s one of the flattest glaciers I’ve ever skied on. But, it was a beautiful day, around freezing with clear blue skies and sunshine, a really excellent day to be in the mountains.
It was very intriguing to see a small aircraft landed on the glacier, I’m really sure it wasn’t there when we arrived but I certainly didn’t see it land.
While conditions on the glacier were quite pleasant looking around the nearby mountains it’s fairly obvious that snowfall’s been pretty limited so far. In fact there was more this time last year but that did mostly melt during December so it’s hard to say what the season outlook is yet.
