This morning dawned bright and sun was edging its way around the mountains as the Idle Skiers foraged for breakfast. The forecast from yesterday was bettered by some distance.
Still though it was quiet on the mountain. The 9.45am cable car took fourteen people to Mannlichen. The skiing was as good as it gets and the temperature very cold for any time of year, never mind close to Spring.
Late in the afternoon some clouds rolled in and for a while it snowed on Wixi. The sun picked up again on the way home. In Wengen, I collected a parcel at the station. A few weekenders were arriving, but nothing like the crowds you might expect for a snow packed couple of days in March.
A cold, mainly sunny day brought 10,290 vertical metres in 22 lift rides and 55 kilometres travelled.
