Skiing

Skiing, every year

Seven of us round a wooden table on a mountain terrace, several in Santa hats and red Santa jackets, with snowy peaks and a bare larch tree behind.

Cornwall has the beach tradition; the mountains have the snowy one. Every year there’s a family ski trip, and we ski it hard: first lift to last light, every day, and at least once in Santa suits.

Now the children are old enough to go it alone, they head off on their own trips too, with their partners, and come back with their own stories and photos.

The photos below are all from our family trips. This page will collect the best of both.
