Anyone want to see my skiing pictures from die Schweiz? (Switzerland)
Hi Heidi, hi CMW!! We are in your backyard - up in Graubünden Canton, skiing at Samnaun. WOW, the conditions were phenom yesterday, I hear more snow today?

1. Aww, damn, I want to go back now.
I was in Klosters the week before the slopes opened. And I have extended family who work at the resort, too. x( :P

3. How was the skiing there?
Since we drive from Munich, it's about 2:20 door to door. I've heard about other areas in Switzerland, but Samnaun is very convenient. I look forward to discovering more of this beautiful country this summer and of course next winter :)

I think there might be skiing until May in the higher elevations. :hi:

4. Wish I could tell you.
They opened the day after we left (or so). Had I been there in season, I would have definitely gone.

5. Oh cool, I just scoped it out on bergfex.com
It's part of Davos Ski Area, correct? 307 km of trails. WOOHOO!! Next year will give that a try. I see a CH vignette coming. :D

Very cool!

Those are just beautiful...

Since I am not burdened with snow in the winter, I love seeing pictures of it!

Thanks for sharing...

7. Mornin', dear!
We woke up to snow on the palmetto trees this morning! I'm glad you're enjoying the conditions at Samnaum, but we do not want snow in Ticino. :scared: :yoiks:

:hug:

I've decided that I am a fair-weather skier only. :rofl:

Wow, just checked Google maps, you are almost 250km from us in Samnaun!! That's a bit of a hike. :D

9. Thanks, yeah yesterday was one of those days to package.
Surreal.

Today skiing totally SUCKED. Couldn't see a foot in front of you, white-out conditions and no depth perception. Couldn't tell how steep the slope was or WHAT was in front of me. We made two runs for 37euros (50USD) and called it a day. :(
