It\u2019s warm today, in fact for late December it\u2019s hot. 15 degrees on our balcony at the moment, and that\u2019s comfortably warm enough to sit out in the sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I popped up to the village this morning to find it heaving with skiers; it looks like it\u2019s probably the busiest day of the season so far. The last thing anyone wants on a day like this is a big mechanical failure of a major lift. Unfortunately that\u2019s exactly what happened – our cable car broke down just before 11.
