Grimentz

In order to get the courage to ski in freezing temperatures and with not much light, we (about 200 of us) started the evening at the mid-station with a fondu and a bit of a sing-a-long. The live music was great and we were quite surprised that we were familiar with many of the songs despite the multiple languages (or perhaps the schnapps made us think we knew all the songs....!!)


At 9.30pm we all lined up at the ski lifts - quite scary at first but our eyes quickly got used to the moonlight - it was an amazing experience to ski on perfectly groomed pistes and with no artificial light. 
Back at the house, there was only one way to warm up.... Jim & Christine's new toy was a major hit with Alistair... so much so that he was talking about one for our balcony.
