Just now hoping the flights on time, thats enough for now speak later, apologies to Pablo if he thought he was going to have a quite week :mrgreen:

Have a pleasant journey Mr W and don't you worry too much about Pablo if you have trouble with your wifi, I'll do my best to make sure he doesn't get fed up without you...failing that Tonyh should be back soon and I'm sure he'll have plenty to talk about! :lol:

I have now managed to locate the hotel wifi signal, bloody hell I have never seen so much snow in my life, it has not stopped since Sunday and looks like it will continue into Wednesday.
Did not ski Sunday as the plane was late so did not arrive in Adelboden till 15.30, Monday was a white out visibility was so bad I even took a tumble have not done that for a few years just could not see anything even with my all singing and dancing bolle gog's, we skied though till about 14.00 hrs and that was enough I could see nothing and it was starting to become a bit precarious.
Today Tuesday much of the same starting snowing heavier as the day went on, mix that with a blizzard at the top a fun afternoon it was not, but the powder has been fantastic there is a couple of runs we have found though the trees untouched by any human :mrgreen: :mrgreen: absolutely heaven thats when you can see where you are going, still managed to ski till 16.00hrs, the poor old knees ache a tad now.
Hotel is great food first class, Adelboden is quite a sprawling Village/ Town a fair bit of walking needed but the biggest disappointment is the links between the sectors poor links with flat blues and baby drags to get you to the next run I have never done so much poling in my life I expected more of Adelboden you can imagine how grumpy I have been, the slopes are very easy the blacks are reds and well the reds are really easy.
The average age in the resort is 169 well thats what it seems full of olds walking with sticks but it leaves the slopes empty for us younger people :mrgreen: well better go Mrs W is waiting for a coffee, Bye. 8) 8)

As the saying goes....A bad day on the slopes is better than a good day in the office....

Have a ball.

Apparently the average age in Adelboden is usually 24, there must be someone there this week skewing the data big time Mr W.
