Ski Weather

I had breakfast on a mountain today. Yup. On a mountain.

Paula Erich and I went skiing today and the first order of business was to trek up the mountain and just the right sequence of lifts and runs to get to this place called the Kristallhütte. Man that was a good breakfast! Two eggs over easy atop a mound of bacon and two slices of hearty wheat bread and butter. Just the thing you need to fuel a day of alpine skiing. Speaking of which...

Skiing in the alps is a blast. I didn't get too adventurous on the slopes today, but man you could have some fun there. People here really take their skiing seriously. None of the icy patches, or speed-crazed hooligans I've experienced elsewhere. Just perfect powder on every run and toddlers putting my form to shame.

The view from the peak was absolutely breathtaking. Valley upon valley with little clusters of red-roofed houses nestled between cloud-engulfed peaks. Kinda makes me wish I was the picture taking type. Too bad for you guys I guess.

We got there pretty early, which was great. We beat the crowds and clouds that showed up just as we were bailed home for lunch.
