Today, the cloud was low all day, forming a heavy fog in the village and on the mountain. It lightened a little on the way up to Mannlichen and there was even a bit of sunshine at the top. However, within a 100 vertical metres descent, the fog was back.
It was slow going for almost everyone. Occasionally, a burst of sunlight would cut through the heavy cloud, but it was rare and short lived. Eventually, I made it through the gloom to Scheidegg and then had an exceptionally good ski to Innerwengen.
A day lost in the clouds brought 4,223 vertical metres in 10 lift rides and 31 kilometres travelled.
