And we’re back in winter sports season, ladies and gents!

Last weekend, we met up with some friends in Zermatt for a day of skiing.  Only a small part of the mountain is actually open at the moment, but anxious to get back out there, we gave it a go.  We were all pleasantly surprised by the conditions – well-maintained slopes and even enough powder in places that some people in our group went off-piste … a luxury enjoyed when skiing on top of a glacier above 12,000 feet.  We realize that these are some real first-world problems, but we are seriously ruined for skiing back in the states.

We couldn’t have asked for better weather, we were surrounded by great friends, Chris broke his speed record (he has a helmet now), Sarah didn’t fall, and at the end of the day, we had a fabulous apres ski (complete with ski boots) at one of our favorite pubs in Switzerland.  The ski season is officially off to a great start.
