Can't be , I'm good looking :lol: :lol:
Before you ski the red down to Grindelwald, stop at the outdoor bar at Mannlichen (out of the cable car station turn left, by the heliport). Have one of their 'special' hot chocolates. Can't remember the name of it but it has a lovely shot of rum in it. Or, if you fancy a bite to eat ski down towards Grindelwald and stop at Brandegg for some scoff.
You will love the place. I've done Grindelwald twice and would be happy if I didn't ski anywhere else. It's stunning.

I wish I was going next week!
We were there from Boxing Day for a week and its 'proper' skiing in my opinion. Here are a few thoughts:
- if you go to Schilthorn (Murren), go early! Its train down, over the road, up a cable car, another train, walk through Murren (beautiful), 'nother cable car, then another!!
- coming back from Murren, take the cable car down to Stechelberg, the drop off the edge of the valley is spectacular. Then get the bus back to Lauterbrunnen.
- do the red (21?) from Kleine Scheidegg down to Grindelwald in the morning before its too busy. Long, long run through the forest - keep your speed at the bottom to get through the flat caravan park
- be surprised by people who go skiing in a caravan!
- ski the Lauberhorn.
- keep a train timetable in your pocket, it can be a nice alternative to a lift, but you need to avoid a 20 minute wait before an already slow train.
- have a traditional Swiss fondue.
Enjoy it!

S'obvious...a bald man intent on world domination and stroking a white cat sends his black suited henchmen to chase you down a precipice!
(Actually, the 007 exhibition at the top of the Schilthorn is an entertaining way to spend 15 ot 20 minutes!)
