Its been a while since my last scribings, the car has kept me busy in these low temps.
Friday 11th Feb, daytime temp is -14C, sunshine and cloud with a bit of snow and a big chill factor.
The result is a lot of poorly cars, mainly diesel.
Half term has started to day, so its busy from now on.
If you are planning to drive to the alps, make sure you buy good diesel, and your battery is in good order.  The garages are overwhelmed with cars not starting, its been down to -23C.
I've received a link to a DVD, telemark skiing in Australia, called "Winter Dreaming". 
If you have anything of interest that you would like to see here, send it to me and I'll put it up

Just a few notes on Merdassier and Manigod.
Manigod is a village just like La Clusaz (though smaller), and although you can't ski to or from Manigod,
it has two ski stations, Merdassier (or domaine de L'Etale) and Col de la Croix Fry.
Merdassier is a sympathetically purpose built station, at an altitude of 1500 metres, and is on the La Clusaz ski circuit.
Mainly self catering appartements, with shops, restaurants, and a few hotels, Merdassier benefits from being on the piste,
with skiing to and from your front door. Pistes range from nursery slopes to a Black run, off piste and powder when appropriate,
all within a small area. Click on the link below to go to the Manigod tourist site.
