Chamois and Snow
There has been very little snow so far this winter and the local ski station only has a few runs open. There was a dusting of snow just after Xmas that looks very nice, but - despite very cold nights - it is rapidly melting in the almost continual sunshine. I took one of my standard hikes along the Crete des Serres. The snow dampens sound and allows you to get nearer wildlife. I saw 3 boars and around 20 chamois - easily a record for that hike.
I'm Scottish and based in Pau with my wife. I've been doing less flying lately but spend a lot of time outdoors hiking and cycling and hope to do some more skiing in the winter months.
Thanks for your reports Douglas. I`m in northern Norway for the moment, enjoying skiing in powder snow!
