Sunny but very cold today, lots of people skiing.

Our new lift, aka 'easyjet'.

The village is looking like a postcard after all the new snow.

Snowing and cold when we woke up. Went for a ski with a group of friends, followed by Christmas lunch at the cafe Alpengrusse.

Christmas Crackers at the top of the mountain

Still snowing and even colder when we got back to the village in the afternoon.

Minus 6 - warmest part of the day.

Raining when we got back from the pub last night, and this morning it had turned to snow.

Snowy Wengen

As fast as the snow falls, the council remove it!

No idea why they do this - there are no cars here!

On the main street they have to remove the snow on a truck.

I wonder what they do with it all?

Some skiers will keep going whatever the weather.

Off we go to ski school!

It’s really nice. Pictured here with Val, Sandro and Mario.

Very gloomy again this morning, lots of people milling about, and no-one really knowing what to do.

Gloomy Scheidegg

Ski in the trees for better visibility

We had a bit of a ski, but it wasn’t getting any better. Back up at Scheidegg they were preparing for snowfall.

Snowfall expected?

Viz was poor again this morning, but got togged-up and went to Rocks. About 11.30 the sun began to peep through, so we headed up the hill.

Very quiet at Mannlichen

We dragged Terry along with us, so had a quick pitstop at the little bar near the Mannlichen chair, before a really good blast around the whole area. Snow still good down to Grindelwald and Wengen.

Gloomy Grindelwald

Things did brighten up a bit after lunch though, and we had a great run back to the village from the Lauberhorn.

I can see!
