Big storm forecast for the next few days. The cloud over the Jungfrau is a dead giveaway:

Weather good, lots of people about. Quietest runs are on the Wengen side of the mountain. Here’s Val in the stadium at the end of the World Cup downhill run.

Val has a new hat!

Village opening last night – a jolly evening when we all cruise the main street drinking boozy concoctions provided by the local businesses. Paul has found something amusing!

Needless to say our ski club has a stand – we intercept the tourists as they get off the train and ply them with punch.

Gloomy day up the hill today, and very busy.

Skiers like ants on a distant piste.

After 2 days mischief, the weather is finally behaving itself. Up we go.

Glorious day, lots of people on Mannlichen. We ski round to Scheidegg and grab lunch. The Wengen side of the mountain is much quieter.

Rare shot of me tearing up the Bumps piste.

Café Fertig at the Figeller Bar – yum yum.

My skis had a new sticker this morning – Colin from Central Sport has spotted our laziness over the past 2 days!

Another cold and foggy day. A little snow. Visibility so bad nobody goes skiing.

We decide to go to Interlaken for a curry. Shivering on the platform.

We have not been completely idle. We have installed another webcam in the DHO clubroom. You can see the pictures here: www.downhillonly.com/site/cam.shtml

Guess what we find when we get to Interlaken.

More lovely weather – admiring the view from Mannlichen

And here is part of the view. Wengen, 1 kilometre below, and Lauterbrunnen another half kilometre below that.

Beginners classes have started in the village. It’s a bit gloomy down here late in the afternoon.

Very quiet day, pretty much had the mountain to ourselves. Here’s the Tipi at lunchtime.
