The forecast told us that today would be warm and sunny again, so it’s a spring skiing day. We got up really early and caught the 8.45 cable car up to Männlichen. The pistes are pretty firm early on,  and it’s gloomy in the shadows.

But the sun gets to work, and the snow begins to soften. Every 10 minutes or so the cable car deposits another 70 skiers at the top of the hill. Down they all come.

We have coffee and head for Scheidegg, where it’s a lot quieter. Pistes getting quite soft now.

We finish off with a glorious romp down Wixi and ski home via Mary’s. By midday it’s really hot and it’s time for lunch and a drink on the balcony.
