I've not really been up to much since we arrived in Gstaad at the end of December.
Most days I head up Eggli (the closest Piste to Gstaad) and Snowboard or drink Glühwein, oft both.
I guess we've been pretty lucky with the weather.
There have only been 4 days that I haven't been on the board.
I'm gradually improving and able to push a little more, a little faster.
At the moment we're expecting snow, but it's been like that for the past week or so.
It's been super sunny and warm, great for riding and sitting in the sun, not so good for the snow that is here. It's starting to melt and some of the pistes have become un-rideable.
The photos are of Joana and I riding Videmanette earlier this week. It's a great run. The high point is around 2184m, the lowest point 1034m.
Yesterday, we jumped on the train and went to one of the neighbouring peaks at Saanenmöser.
It was good to experience something else, catch up with other people, see different faces and just change it up a little.
The last couple of months has been a blast. And to think, I also get paid when I'm riding the board.
I shan't be too sad to leave here, but I shall continue to make the most of it.
Don't work too hard, I know I won't be.
