The Italian wedding trip

Last weekend I went on a little trip to Italy to join in for the wedding party of two friends of mine (greetz to A & A). Along with the party, they scheduled some time for skiing and relaxation.

During last week, I then got the news that the skiing was cancelled due to too little snow on the slopes :(

Two days later I got an update saying that we wont ski because of too much snow on the pistes!?

A state that unfortunately didn’t change until our arrival on Saturday. This also ment that the location for the party and the dinner could not be reached :( But in a glorious re-booking effort they managed to find hotels in the lower village/town and a restaurant to fit all the about sixty people (mostly Italians). After a good night (in cowboy and indians costumes) we finally managed to do some skiing on Sunday before driving back to Geneva, from where I flew back with a two and a half hours delay on Monday morning (thanks for the night and dinner to J & J).

Snowboooaaarding! [Update]

Aaahhhh … what a day … I finally managed to go snowboarding for the second time this season … hmm … beautiful place (Verbier) and beautiful weather … but now I am destroyed …
Great day that was almost not going to happen, since my board was caught in a basement where everyone that had a key to it was gone over the weekend … man … but luckily Esben was so nice to borrow me his board to save the day … thanks man!

[Update]
I just remembered to mention that I even jumped out of the lift to get the real off-piste experience … rock on!

Finally some skiing

Yesterday, I finally managed to go skiing (or better snowboarding) for once this year (and unfortunately maybe also for this season).
I went to Les Diablerets with some friends (greetz) and spent a whole day in the boots … ;)
Great fun even though we left Geneva at about 6:30 am!
We rounded off the day with a nice dinner (actually I had another one with my roomies afterwards … also very nice).
