We had one more day left on our lift passes and since Monday is our last day we decided to use them on Saturday.  Depending on how you look at it, it was either a really smart move, or a potentially life threatening one.  If you’ve been following the news like we have (CNN is the only English channel in Saas Fee) you’d have known that Europe is presently getting destroyed by major windstorms.  Apparently we are the only ones crazy enough to snowboard through a windstorm (until they closed the mountain down at noon) The rewards easily outweighed the risks – as we had a whole powder covered face of the mountain to ourselves. It is a bit disorienting snowboarding in deep powder, and fog, and wind, and despite a few close calls with what we thought were runs, and turned out to be cliffs, we made it back in one piece.

Jason has been nursing a Swiss flu/cold, so it’s a good thing I came prepared with tonnes of vitamin C and echinacea.  We leave for Venice on Monday, and yes we still haven’t uploaded pictures… blame the robot guy, he’s always kicking us off the computer.
