Skiing in Limone

Sunday I took the 0700 train from Torino to Cuneo where I Natalia picked me up to go skiing in Limone with her and her friend Chiara. Limone is south of Torino, as opposed to where we went skiing last weekend in Sauze d'Oulx. It was another amazing day filled with amazing views! The skiing was a little bit more difficult than last weekend as I think that the hills were a bit steeper. We were near the french boarder again and could see the check point to France as we turned to go up to the ski resort. In fact, if you take the farthest chair lift you actually ski down the French side of the mountain!

We finished off the day meeting a friend of Natalia's in Cuneo before I caught the train back home. We had great little treats and an amazing glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. I caught the train with a few minutes to spare (both ways actually...I am sure no one is surprised) and it was very busy. I didn't know how to ask people if they would move their belongings so I could sit down so I sat in the jump seat in the entry/exit way for the one and a half hour ride home! Good thing I had a good book!

Here are some pictures of the amazing views!

A black...in the Alps? Good thing I bought the insurance for 2.5o euros!

I have to get down from here....looking down 27

I made it down...without falling...a few near falls though! Looking back up 27

I should have stopped here before our start just to say a quick prayer!
