It snowed a lot last night – right down to the valley floor.

The rules for the race at the weekend dictate that each competitor must have a training run – it’s a chance to get to know the course for the less experienced racers. The international superstars go up to Scheidegg on the train, just like everyone else.

The skiers are used to getting a lot of attention and are usually happy to pause for a photo. Here’s Italian racer Guglielmo Bosca.

It’s cold enough to run the snow cannons again. Although the race is the highest priority, it’s nice to see the public ski runs getting some attention.

Tonight we are looking forward to dinner at Paul and Anne-Marie’s.
