In Hiding

But I did venture outside for the air display.






This is the closest I'm getting to the race today.

What a Day!


What a day. Race day and we kept well away.
In fact several lifts were out of bounds because we didn't buy a ticket to watch. So sorry, no pictures of the new wonderful Wixi.

Off piste may not be all down hill!
But worth the effort.


Go girl go!
Race day, on the ice rink.

What a happy, snowy New Year it is!

After a busy Christmas and New Year, with one day off in two and half weeks (there are people who believe I'm on a constant holiday!), this week is much quieter. But not as far as the snow is concerned. There was a lovely half meter last Friday. The conditions are fantastic.

Watch out for the World Cup Lauberhorn Downhill, running this coming weekend. Not sure where Ski Sunday is on the telly these days, they are always filming here, it will be somewhere.

The new Wixi 'Bumble Bee' lift is wonderful. Even in high season, no real queue. One day they moved 17,000 people up to the Start Hut. Amazing.

Must run, got to get to work.
