January 9th, 2010, Skiing in Switzerland again ...
Third year for Cynthia, we had a lovely week in Engadin, Switzerland ...
We had a good first day with the weather ... Cynthia just started again like she finished last year ... like riding a bike ...
Great impressions from the Alps, the clowds in the valley
... here having a rest with a well-earned drink!
This was the afternoon look from our hotel window ... the village here is Sils-Maria ...
... we had many great dinners with a reasonable amount of grape juice ... mainly from Swiss wineries
The runs were absolutely empty, hardly anyone disturbing us using the full width of it ... it's just good if you reserve them early ;-)
Here Cynthia in action ... Thomas could hardly keep up ...
Here a photo that shows how busy the runs were ... and a great view down in the valley ...
... where the lakes were frozen (for nordic skiing) ... here on the right you can see our hotel "Waldhaus" (house in the forest)
Continuing the tradition, this time we also joined the "Chef's table", where 12 people had a dinner in the middle of the kitchen ... each course with a different wine ...
... here the Chef preparing an additional dish, "yak" steaks ... very tasty!
Finishing the dinner with some great Swiss cheese ... here Mr. Ermler (sommelier) to serve ...
We also had a little walk in St. Moritz ... here the "leaning" tower ...
... some more impressions of St. Moritz ...
Last day, we did a longer skiing tour, that led us up to the "Corvatsch" on 3.303 metres ... and we ski'd all the way down (valley is at 1.800 metres)
Here the two of us on the "Corvatsch" lookout ...
This is the night-view of Sils-Maria from our hotel room (winter fairyland) ... and after that ...
... we had our last dinner and some drinks in the lounge!... we had our last dinner and some drinks in the lounge!
