On the second day we went over to Saas Grund, where the slopes are south-facing and therefore sunny.
Cafe at Kreuzboden (2397m)
Lindsey, Landrover-Man and Lee, the Crystal rep
Lee did ski escourt duties, and showed us the slopes.
Coming down from Hohsaas (3200m)
Looking down towards Kreuzboden
On the easy red down to Trift (2072m)
Below Trift
Alpine hamlet (probably Tewald)
You didn’t seem to have had any luck with the weather at all! Well, you seem to have had a wee bit of sun anyway. That’s good. Hopeless if it’s completely Baltic on your holidays all the time. Hotboy p.s. Is the bottom photie of snowed over allotments. I see the bottom hut is on stilts. I suppose that does deter the rats.

Hi Hotboy,
The weather was fantastic. Just right for skiing.
It’s all about bottle.
You come out of the lift and it’s minus 24C and you perch at the top of a near vertical cliff 3,000 metres up the mountain, and all you have is two six-foot planks on your feet and two wee poles to get you down to the bottom, and you realise that no-one has ever given you a lesson, and you ask yourself “Do I, or do I not, have the bottle to launch off this cliff?”
Well…some cats got it and some cats ain’t.
Maybe it’s just that you’re too old to understand.
