Skiing!

We hit the slopes today! We went with 8 other people to Engelberg. According to the Engelberg website: the ski terrain is largely designed for advanced skiers.....

We went straight to the top of the mountain which involved first a gondola ride, second a ride on something called the Titlis (???) and then a third ride up on a circular gondola thingy that spun around. Finally arrived at the top (10,000 ft) and almost instantly died from frostbite. Seriously. It was FREEEEEEEEZING. We took a few pics and then headed over to put on our equipment. About the time I got my skis on, a huge gust of wind came through and almost knocked me flat on my bum. Once recovered, we headed down the slopes. Pretty sure it would be the equivalent of a double black in the states. It wasn't pretty but we survived.

Overall we had a fantastic time. We are super sore already so I'm sure tomorrow will be rough!

Pictures!








Holy Crap! Take the Picture. I'm freezing!

Rumor is, that's a lake in the summer.
