Welcome 2012!

We welcomed the New Year in the snowy mountains, with good friends, beautiful fireworks and champagne. It felt like a good way to start 2012!

Thanks to everyone for a great time!

Sunset Saturday XXXXIV

I finished the year the same way I started it: with a day on the slopes. Except this time there was no sunshine, but snow, snow, snow.
Happy New Year!

Rutschts guad and see you in 2012!

how to start a new year

In late December, I went for a skiing holiday in the mountains with friends from all over the world. For some reason, New Year's eve was kind of quiet and everyone went to bed rather early. So some of us decided to start the new year like we ended it: on the slopes!

Of course, the prospect of empty slopes and fantastic sunshine definitely contributed to our motivation and so we managed to get into the gondola just before 9 am

Up on the mountain the sun was out, the view was spectacular and we were all glad to be able to start the new year with another day on the slopes!

Doesn't this sound like a great way to start a New Year?
Just kidding - I know there are plenty of other (maybe even better) ways...
Thanks to Isi for some of the pics and to everyone for some nice days on the slopes!
