Kath had a Uni soccer tournament on the weekend in Milan. Come the weekend I am always ready to get out of the city so I took the chance to get a day’s skiing in. It is still very early in the season and most resorts don’t have any snow. However, there was a 20-30cm fall of snow on the highest peaks during the week so conditions were reported to be good at a resort north east of Milan. Milan had a heavy fog (as normal) but soon after Bergamo I left the fog behind and was greeted with a clear blue sky. The skiing was ok with only one quite steep and very well used run open. But the mountains were beautiful in the sun and the air was very clear after Milan so it was good day out. I’m also sore in many parts of my body which is all good preparation for the ski season ahead.
On Sunday Kath didn’t end up playing so we went for a short road ride around the shore of Lake Como. It was very cold but the autumn colours over the misty lake were very picturesque. Also the road dips and climbs through small villages and patched of forest making for a very pleasant ride.
