Skiing in Nendaz

I spent last weekend skiing with friends in Nendaz. Nendaz, as it turns out, is part of the 4 vallées ski resort that also includes Verbier. It's slightly lower altitude, and has fantastic terrain. On Saturday visibility was low, it snowed lightly all day, and we found untracked low-angle powder stashes that were just incredibly fun to ski. Sunday was completely different, with spring conditions and huge queues for the lifts, but wonderful views of the mountains. Here are a few photos.

I almost fell off a T-bar for this picture.
