FollowIt’s the final practice day for the racers. We ski around to Scheidegg and head up the Lauberhorn after grabbing a coffee. It looks like the whole Canton is up here trying to get a good view.
It’s not just the skiers having training. We always have an air show on race day, and the pilots also need to practice. A few snaps.
They’re behind you!
The airforce jets are very impressive (they are Northrop F-5E fighter/bombers), but it’s the Airbus that really amazes – you’d never believe how it can be thrown around as it dives in and out of the valley. The Airbus is called ‘Wengen’.
As I type this the house is shaking from the noise of the public address system at the World Cup Village – it’s only 50 metres away. Lauberhorn has begun.
