Fog and delicious food

Mont Blanc went into hiding today. Surrounded by soft fog it felt surreal knowing the massive mountain was there somewhere overlooking the slopes with all the tiny skiers.

A day with hard core skiing: Adorable and I plus all the Courmayeur ski schools on the slopes. The Italian grown ups shone with their absence as a result of the mixed weather conditions providing a bit of everything except sun. But they were of course fully present in the restaurants.

Tagliatelle with rich tasting ragu, Italian red wine (1/4 became 1/2), tiramisu and strong espresso. An hour and half later we reentered the slopes on doughy legs. Skiing post-lunch was slightly more relaxed and we stayed close to the ski schools and far away from the black runs.
