Snow!

After an abysmal start to the winter season, snow is now finally falling over the Alps. We have a week's skiing booked for the end of Feb so a bit of base is always good.

Anyway, had a good time in Sweden over New Years, with plenty of good food from our most excellent chef team, a staggering array of drinks, saunas and dips in 0-degree Baltic waters with great friends. Trees were chopped down, fireworks set off and poker was played especially well by Sarah. She has the right mindset to become a great player if she wanted to - the right blend of discipline, analytical ability and instinct.

There was very little ice this year, in fact the least ice I've ever seen over Christmas as far as I can remember back. We still had to break through a little bit, but it pretty much vanished as the days went by.
