14.2nm, blue sky, flat, full (aka heavy) sled - now that can be called a great day! Rock'roll However for about 16nm we saw a great big hill in the distance. It only looked like 5nm away .... 'Be up that by lunchtime', I thought. But I was wrong .... 16nm later we are just near the base ... Ready to go up it first thing in the am. Apparently, it looks a lot bigger and closer due to the angle of the sun and the snow particles (or something like that) but I have to say it was a bizzare skiing into a massive white hill wall all day without getting any closer! I am half expecting that by tomorrow am (ok, here's hoping) it will have magically disappeared...
