What a difference a day makes

Forget yesterday’s Gortex wrap-up.  Today we packed sun glasses, high factor cream, headband and water.  A serious queue for the 8:30 cable car showed that the Swiss like a sunny day too.

Looking at the freeride area on the north face of the Gemsstock from the cable car mid-station. Two hours after it opened there wasn’t a drop of untracked powder.

We skied the Felsental just before lunch.  Great snow all the way back down to Andermatt.

Tina on the Felsental – waiting patiently for me. Her superior fitness is beginning to tell.

After a rather nice lunch at the St Gotthard Hotel in Hospental, we headed for a late afternoon ski at Natschen.

Are those alien spaceships over the Furka Pass?
