Let me correct that: First snow down low. Today on my
“training hike” up to crête des
Tervelles (Massif des Bornes) there was a great training motivation booster in
waiting as I got up: Snow! I am here talking about snow below the 5000 feet mark . This
hike starts at 735 m (2,400 feet) and tops out at 1,775 m (5,800 feet). Well
just a bit over an hour into this thing Skadi and I were in snow. Here are the
pictures (click to enlarge):

| This almost looks skiable today... The snow covered summit in the middle tops out at about 7,000 feet. |
