At about mid day, on the left of the Lager lift, a largish group of skiers had made a temporary picnic table from their skis. On this makeshift table was a substantial spread and several bottles of wine.
It was that sort of day, easy going and relaxed. It was warmer than for a while, but with excellent snow and few people occupying the mountain.
I called in at my own favourite picnic lunch stop, by the Tschuggen T bar. Often it is a struggle to find space on the bench which runs along the sides of the building. Today, there were just a couple of people dozing in the sun.
The weather forecast promises more of the same for tomorrow. I am sure we can cope. A day in the sun brought 11,369 vertical metres in 25 lift rides and 61 kilometres travelled.
