Today's post is brought to you by the letter 'S', for Snow (it snowed), Skiing (we went skiing), Switzerland (that's here), Slack bloggers (that's me), and other things that start with S.

This is my house a month or two ago when it snowed. There was only a few centimeters, but enough to make everything cold and white for a few days after which it melted and drained away, and that was the winter.

Normally winter in Switzerland makes more of an effort. It dumps snow on everything, freezes lakes, stops traffic, blocks passes, and at the very least puts on a decent show. I think that this year winter couldn't be bothered. Maybe it caught a cold.

I went skiing with a sport group in Fulenbach a couple of weekends back to a place called SanerMöser. Considering that it's one of the worst skiing years on record, we still managed to get a half-day of skiing dirty, patchy slushy snow. 'nuff talk. More show.

En-route

Rather be inside than out...

The crew...

End of day 1. Towards evening it begins to snow, and continues through the night. Next morning it is still snowing. The wind has picked up, and they've closed the main gondola. After considering our many options, we agree it is best to return home.

Evening

When it rains it snows

...and snows.

Across the valley.

And that was the end of that.
