Snow!

Gloomy and raining in the village this morning. We potter up anyway and get the cable car to Mannlichen, where it is snowing! After coffee we ski round to Scheidegg. Here’s Julie on Lauberhorn, trying to see where she’s going through the gloom.

Paul & Julie

Came across Paul & Julie a few times during their lesson today, so here are a few shots. First in the starting hut for the Lauberhorn downhill race.

Even warmer today, but you can still ski all the way down to Mary’s and back to the village.

It’s time for a curry

Table for 10 at 7.30pm please. Meanwhile it’s another lovely day. Val flies past.

OK we’re off down into the valley for a curry. We go to a place called Spice India in Interlaken.

Learning

Today is Paul & Julie’s second day of ski school. We join them on the hill for a couple of runs. Here’s Julie just above Brandegg. Incredible progress for her second day on skis!

Up at Scheidegg work to build the stage for the concert at the weekend is in full swing. It wasn’t a particularly peaceful coffee stop!

Paul on Bumps this afternoon.

And Val sweeping up.

Super Saturday!

Great day today. Got up early and went for a ski. Quite crowded as all the locals have come up from Interlaken and Berne to enjoy the sunshine. Obligatory skiing pic:
