Snow fun

It is almost over with the snow :( But last weekend we had some good fun on the skis :) We found some 'deep' snow and I managed to make some nice turns.... OK, this was in between the many crashes.... It's not as easy as it looks :)

This morning I went snowbairding with Svenja. In the early morning the snow is pretty good, and it went really well :) We also did the run down to Davos, and this run had wamred up a bit and was exactly at the right 'slushness' for snowbaording. It was a great morning :)

check out the pics :)

langlauf splash

Sad, sad, sad...

Because of the warm weather the loipes are starting to melt :( I went X-country skiing yesterday, but instead of langlaufplausch, it became langluafsplash :( I'll check out the loipes in the shadow later this week...

Lazy Sunday

Today, I really had a lazy Sunday :) I worked all day yesterday, and had a nice girly evening with Sophie. This morning I woke up a bit early, but the weather was so nice that I HAD to go skiing... I didn't really feel like skiing, but with this weather AND fresh snow, I couldn't resist. I went to Rinerhorn and did one run, and already had enough. I was tired, the snow wasn't that good and wasn't feeling very fit. I decided to go home and sit on my balcony with a cup of tea, listening to a Harry Potter audio book. I also had a nice long chat with Siebren on the phone, he couldn't come to Davos this weekend :(

Haven't done anything else today :) I did take some pictures before leaving Rinerhorn, you know where to find them....

Night skiing

Since last year it is possible to ski on Friday nights at Pardenn :) Till last Friday I had never done this because I ski enough, and they open only one piste. I always thought it would be crazy buzy and I didn't really see the point. Untill alst Friday.

Last weekend we had a full moon, and normally this means that a couple of fullmoon ski events are organized, so also this weekend. We had decided to do the fullmoon ski on Parsenn on Friday. We'd ski down from Gotschna to Klosters and have dinner at the 'Alte Schwendi' hut. Unfortunately, it was cancelled because of bad weather warnings. Then we decided to sign up for the one on Jakobshorn on Saturday, but this one was already fully booked :( We were a little disappointed, but then I found on the Parsenn website that as a special occassion the piste to Klosters would be open this Friday. This would be a great alternative :) So, we decided to go night skiing this friday.

The weather was great and so was the snow (compared to the rest of the season) and I had a great evening skiing. It wasn't busy, and the slopes were nice :) Unfortunately the piste to Klosters was closed :( But nonetheless, I had a great night :)

Snow

YES, YES!!!!

It finally snowed :) Tuesday we actually had quite a bit :) Unfortunately it rained most of Wednesday. But I think that on the mountain it still snowed... We'll see....

Last Tuesday we had rinkbandy practive :) It was fun, but we were training outdoors, and because of the snow we had problems finding the ball after 45 minutes.... Well, I prefer to have problems finding the ball during rinkbandy practice oevr having no snow at all....

I haven't een skiing this week, but I'll see this weekend how the pistes are, and maybe even outside the pistes.... I will have to work a bit as well, after staying home 2 days....

A bit ill.... :(

A bit ill again :( I hope I'll get better soon... This time it is a migrain that started last Friday and won't go away :( Yesterday, I left work early because I wasn't feeling right. This morning my head still wasn't clear so I gave in and stayed home. I think that was a good decision, because I slept a lot and am feeling better. I actually managed to get some work done :) I hope to get this paper published very soon....
