I would be remiss if I didn’t recount yesterday’s ski misadventure: While skiing at our smallish local resort, I fell off the T-Bar at perhaps the worst possible point and had to spend an hour struggling through deep snow to get back on-piste.

Oberjoch selfie
Chairlift selfie heading up to the Oberjoch (I love that name).
Grindelwald ski
Excellent afternoon ski lesson at Grindelwald First. 2.5h = 3 long runs. The first serious skiing of the season. I hope the weather holds so that we can repeat tomorrow morning.
Sattel ski
Morning mountain: more relaxed skiing at Sattel. This time I made some longer runs.
Sattel vs Sattel

First time on snowshoes
Today was my first ever outing on snowshoes (at age 49). You’re never too old to learn new things.
Snowshoe hike to Gottschalkenberg
Morning mountain: snowshoe hike to Gottschalkenberg. 5km, 150m ascent, 1h30m. Foggy, windy, cold, and snowy but fun nevertheless.
