Sundays are very busy here at the moment and being a gorgeously sunny day, lots of people who weren’t skiing (including me) were just out to soak it all up on a stroll.

There are a few orientation tables around to tell you what you’re looking at and this one’s particularly well placed, although they’ve had to hack fairly severly at the bush in front so as not to obscure the view.

The beginners’s slopes are particularly packed, mostly with people falling over. Even when they’re just standing still, some of them. Parents who’ve put their children on skis as soon as they can stand make the job of the instructors particularly challenging as mostly before about 5 years old, they don’t seem to ‘get it’ and despite everything that the instructors try to tell them or show them, they’ll be distracted by the slightest things. Ooh, look snow… a picture of controlled chaos on the baby slope.
