The forecast was for another bright sunny day ... time to explore a bigger resort and spend the whole day riding the lifts. We knew the nearest big resort was Grindlewald/ Lauterbrunnen. but also that the other side of the valley at Grindlewald would have a lot of sun and maybe a little less busy. It would also give us spectacular views of the Eiger.
As we were all not exactly "accomplished" skiers then the exploits were rather tamer than we would expect later in life, but there was one memorable moment when Nick lost his cool on a button lift. This was a vicious ripper of a lift that went into a very steep drag straight from the gate. We all struggled a little to keep things under control, but Nick just oscillated worse and worse until dropping off .. the air was blue as he stomped off through the soft snow back to the piste edge, and round again ... we caught up with him later, a slightly calmer person by then.

All very tired after a long day we retreated to the bunkhouse.
