Let it Snow...

just nowhere near me..

There's no way I can get up to the snow right now with Christmas looming large on the horizon so I asked Josh if I could share some of his photos. This was taken 2 weeks ago at Isola 2000, a ski station around a 40 minute drive from Nice, depending on who's driving, at 2000metres altitude.
When I first arrived here I had absolutely no idea that the area wasn't just the coast but the alps as well hiding a number of small ski stations. When the children were small we used to religiously head up every weekend there was snow and fasten everybody into their snowsuits, struggle with the ski bindings and herd them up the lifts. Now, of course, they whizz off with their mates and leave me to do what I do best: the apres-ski

More about Nice and its ski stations tomorrow.
