The "embellie"

I found no exact translation for the word "embellie", maybe short&calm spell would be the most correct translation. Anyhow, when talking about the weather, it means it will be crap weather, then suddenly nice, and after a short period of nice weather, suddenly crap again.

That was the all plan of the day, planning on a short ski tour during the forecasted "embellie". With this word, I managed to motivate Vanessa and Julien to come along, in the aim of skiing "les Arpilles". We leaved Fribourg at 8am, under the rain... No needs to say that my companions teased me with my "embellie", but an "embellie" has to start by crap weather, right?

We reached the car park, no snow there! We have to carry the skis for a bit... The teasing about the quality of the plan was at its paroxysm then... And suddenly, the "embellie"! No need to say that my proudness reached its paroxysm quickly! Of course, the "embellie" was short, but sufficient to take advantage of the fresh (but not so light...) snow at the top, and make some good turns in untracked snow!

PS: Julien didn't trust my (arguably dodgy) plans, didn't bring any sunscreen, and got bright red... Always trust Romaric's plans, even if they rarely works! :D
PS2: I didn't trust my plans neither, didn't bring any sunscreen, and got a bit sunburn as well...
