More photos to come but this is too good not to gloat…

Yes, the saga of the Bruson lift has been going on since God was a boy, but it’s finally approved and finally happening. And so we went up and had a look.

The result is yet another rather splendid panoramic photo (thank you iPhone) and the knowledge that although Bruson won’t be a sleepy secret this time next year, we will get to ski this cool area an awful lot more. Which is a very, very good thing.

Yes, epicness is a word. I myself invented it, and I invented it somewhere that looks a lot like this.

That’s because today was an amazing day in Verbier and whilst we weren’t in knee deep powder it was simply stunning and the skiing was great. Because you don’t need powder to enjoy great ski days. You just need views like these…

 

Of course, there aren’t two Gareths. Just one and that’s plenty. But we went for a little ski today and it was, as we have become slightly predictable in saying, EPIC.

There has been some snow and some wind and all that, and if you drop off the sides of things you can find some really good snow (call Powder Extreme and they can show you where) but most importantly it’s sunny, clear and everything looks pretty.

There are a lot more photos to come, although none utilise the iPhone’s new panorama photos to quite as amusing effect as this one. So enjoy it while you can.

It’s so cold on Les Essertes I refuse to type any more.

The New Year hordes have descended but its still stunning up here and the snow is epic.
