  1. johnholmes it was lovely! It’s part of the Milky Way, between Claviere and Sestriere
  2. Well today was our last day in Cesana Torinese. Overnight there was about 25cm…a beauty of a powder day! What a day to end the week. Some of the best skiing I’ve had! And it looks like they’ve got another 50cm in the next week!! The season will end on a high!
  3. Second day of skiing here in the middle of the Via Lattea. Nice skiing, but feels more like Easter than the middle of February!! And looks like it to!!
  4. Sprites it certainly is today…but it’s the most that’s happened in the 18months we’ve been here… The Emiratis have been out playing in the ice like a snow day back home!! And then they go out hooning around in the flood water in their 4x4s donutting like teenagers! bbf26543-1c0a-43db-93ff-8ca133a8ce44.mov
  5. So, out here in the middle of the desert in the UAE winter has properly arrived…. Flooding, hail stones the size of golf balls( which have knackered the back of my car), and shredded trees…literally birds dead on the ground where they’ve been knocked out of the sky by the hail…Wadi’s which are normally bone dry in full flood!!! Nice to see some weather though!! IMG_1360.mov IMG_2335.mov 25a1b2df-220f-497c-a16c-4228977ed6d7.mp4 IMG_2320.mov IMG_2312.mov IMG_1351.mov
  6. @Methuselah by chemtrails I thought you meant emissions from power stations or, more likely here, oil refineries/ desalination plants… Those emissions here are very “snaky”…so perhaps “chemtrails” is a good description
  7. @Methuselah shouldn’t be a chemtrail as the pic is looking straight out into the desert, and where we are there’s no industry to emit. I suspect it was contrails passing through a cloud layer…but there’s nothing under the cloud layer which is what piqued my interest
  8. I’ve been out of the SE for 18 months now, but always keep up on the thread…. Saw this cloud formation on the way home tonight in Al Ain, UAE…. First thought it was a contrail mixing with the cloud, but actually doesn’t look like it is.. you might need to zoom in a little
  9. skiing in Cesana Torinese/ Sestriere in just over three weeks…first time since March 2019…. Taking a small school group from the UAE The conditions improve
  10. What a fantastic start to the season, long may it continue…I am hopeful that Cesana Torino in Italy will be perfect in February
  11. The season is off with a bang!!! Let’s hope it can maintain it until the end of April looking forward to my first trip in five years in Feb, to Cesana Torinase….
  12. Snow reported in La Tania and Val d’Isere in the last 24 hours!!!
  13. Afternoon all, been looking at a trip to Cesana in the Milky Way next Feb, does anyone have any experience of that resort? I know it connects into the MW well, and therefore should be good. 1/2 term crowds will be the problem at that time I know, but my hands are tied from that pov
  14. Thanks Paul…pretty much my thinking…. Personally I’ve been to Le Corbier at that time and been fine…but as you say very dicey Unfortunately my hands are tied as to when I can organise the trip…. So take the plunge I think
