We went for an afternoon drive to Montsegur in search of snow for the kids to test out their snow outfits. When we last visited Montsegur the whole area was covered in snow. Today there was only a bit of snow and when we looked up the mountain we couldn’t believe how steep it was and that we had managed to climb to the top. It didn’t seem quite that steep when it was covered in snow, an optical illusion I think. It just looked a lot shorter all covered in snow.
The snow wasn’t fresh where the kids were sliding down the slope and it was packed down quite hard and icy. Andrew skidded down the side of the hill (gritting his teeth all the way) on the toboggan, first with Samuel and then with Ella. The toboggan got up quite a bit of speed and as I watched I wondered if he was going to be able to stop in time before going over the edge down this grassy bit of the hill. Quite frightening really!
