Schwarzsee, Fribourg, 25 February 2005
25th February 2005
I left the house heading for La Berra the nearest ski station to home but on reaching the the junction to Schwarzsee I decided to go there, it only 45mins away but, in true Swiss style, far enough away that they speak another language (German, in case you’re wondering).
It’s so cold at the moment, I know everyone in the UK is under the impression its a “dry cold” but it’s not, it was -20′c when I arrived and that’s cold. Taking the shoes off to put ski boots on just drains heat from your feet.
Anyway, as the photo shows, the snow’s great still, there’s still plenty of fresh powder and the piste if good packed snow.
The pistes are just great, there’s some good steep slopes you can carve fast on, or, as fast as I can with my Zags.
It’s better to take the Zags where they belong which is powder of course. There’s a line down through the the meadows back to the car-park which is quite good fun.
My tracks go a little wide there when I realized I was coming up fast on those fence posts
