Today’s Photo
Every weekday during winter, and occasionally the rest of the year

This is YSE’s girl Sophie looking very relieved that she has just completed one run in the World Monoski Championships on Bellevarde without falling. In the blizzard. In her mother’s old one-piece…
These are in fact the official World Championships, simply because some clown noticed that the event didn’t exist, and registered it. The fact that very few of the competitors had even seen a monoski until yesterday, and most were more likely to end up in A&E than on the podium, didn’t dampen their spirits.
Sophie’s colleague Phoebe looked quite cool for a couple of turns, but it didn’t last.
And of course the purpose of the whole thing was to mock the sartorial elegance of their elders and betters…
YSE’s Today’s Photo is sent by our own photographer from Val d’Isère every weekday during the ski season, giving real-time snow conditions, weather and news!
