Val is still trying lots of different settings on the ski boots that she’s looking to buy, so this morning we’re off up to Männlichen. We met Ali at the cable car station and headed up the hill. It’s a beautiful morning.

Männlichen was very quiet, with a few groups doing instructor training and hardly anyone else.

Ali got a rare shot of Val and me.

We popped back down to the village for lunch, then headed back up to Scheidegg for Val to do more testing. Eventually she was happy with the adjustments that had been made to her boots, so she went back to the shop and parted with her money. Hooray!

The weather has turned very mild, and the air is really clear. I got this shot from our balcony this evening.

The forecast is good for tomorrow, so more skiing looks likely. It’s not a bit like a typical December.
