Totally tropical

There’s a wedding this weekend – congratulations Andy & Jane. We therefore had a big party in the Crystal bar last night. Steve & Colin were playing. ..

And some of the girls performed an Abba tribute.

I was very impressed, apparently.

This morning the weather is perfect again. Snowdrops are appearing in the meadow in front of our house. Time for ice cream on the balcony.

Sun after the rain

It rained a lot last night, and this is not generally a good thing for the snow. But the sun was out this morning so we ventured up the hill.

Anything north facing was rock hard.

Sugar-coated Mönch and Eiger.

But as the day wore on and the sun got to work the snow softened, and we had a really good ski after lunch.

We had a few beers when we got back to the village, but it’ll be a quiet night in tonight, as the season starts tomorrow with a big party in the Crystal bar.

More skiing

It’s another lovely day, and the weekend crowds are all gone. We have the cable car to ourselves.

Pistes are empty, and there’s not a cloud in the sky.

Val has been invited to the village Pilates class tonight, guess I’ll have to wait for her in the pub! One more pic from this afternoon.
