Murky sort of a day today. We got an early cable car up to Männlichen where, predictably, it was snowing. Very poor visibility but great snow.
We skied all the way down to Aspen where we had coffee, then caught the bus down to Grund. Grund selfie.
Up to Kleine Scheidegg on the train, and the weather cleared up for an hour or so. Good skiing.
We had a quick lunch at Scheidegg and it started snowing again. Back to the village via Mary’s Cafe with a stop for Glühwein at Allmend.
The Barrs arrived yesterday, they’re staying at the Eiger. Nice dinner at Sina’s.
Followed by drinks in Rocks.
Up the hill really early today, lovely conditions before lunch. We kept running into Georgia and Livvy’s group.
While we were having lunch in the teepee it started snowing. We headed back towards the village through the snow storm.
Something to look forward to for tomorrow.
It snowed most of the night and this morning, then started clearing up. Clouds rolling up the valley.
Later on we walked up to the village with our bottles. Is this the best view from a recycling centre in the world?
Steve, Jan and the girls have just arrived, so we’ll have a nice dinner at Sina’s later.
There was no snow forecast last night, but it snowed all night anyway. This morning dawned dull and cold.
We had lunch in Lauterbrunnen, then popped into the DHO to sort out the Wifi once and for all. Fingers crossed it will be a lot better from now on. While we were doing all that the snow started to fall again.
Snow conditions are now pretty much the best we’ve had all season. We had a few beers in Rocks and trudged home.
The weather’s changed overnight, and it’s sunny but really cold. We slap on the factor 30 and head up the hill. Busy at Scheidegg.
Val gets a picture of the Eiger for her postcards.
Lower down it’s shady, snow cannons running. These things are becoming essential for maintaining the lower runs now the winters are less severe.
Lots of toboggans about today.
We’ve spent all day reconfiguring webcams and servers for the new DHO website. Had the usual nightmares with the cameras, couldn’t remember the admin login details. All sorted now. Quick pic of the Wengen fire engine outside the club room.
Popped to Rocks for a few beers once we’d finished, then home for pizza.
Another stormy night, and the bad weather continues today. When I wake up in the morning I can check which lifts are open on the Railway company’s website.
You can see from this that the trains to Scheidegg are not running, and most of the ski lifts are closed. Not the sort of day to be going up the mountain.
Signs of spring in the village. The cat likes this cherry blossom.
The cat’s owners live on the first floor. They can’t have a catflap so they’ve built a walkway down from the window.
These birds are Alpine Choughs. They normally stay high up in the mountains, but today they circle above the village during the storm.
