The sun shone again today and in the afternoon it was warmer than it has been for several weeks. There were more people on the cable car this morning and the gondola from Grindelwald had some passengers for the first time in a while.
It occurred to me yesterday, on my way along Berharg for the first time this season, that Piste Distelboden would be open also. So it proved to be and this morning, I returned to this excellent but also under used piste.
The cable car occupants, that happy few, had dispersed early on and this afternoon was still quieter than the last few days, which seems almost impossible. It is a sign of the times that the snowman, standing just along the road from us and built by a neighbour, is wearing a face mask.
Another great day’s skiing brought 11,026 vertical metres in 25 lift rides and 58 kilometres travelled.
