Can't recommend using this ^^^approach in Switzerland. You will need a Residence/Work Permit to stay more than 90 days.


Today was a Bluebird Powder day. So we got stuck in :D

I want to have a holiday this summer in mountains any recommendations where to stay ?????


This summer Grimentz and the other Val d'Anniviers villages are offering free cable cars/buses/swimming pools and guided tours...

I could suggest a place to stay, book via a local agency, if you'd like to see one of the most picturesque villages in Europe...... :D

LOL, no worries. There seems to be several ways to tackle the learning curve. For me the biggest OMG was the "where are my feet" :lol:

Patience is useful, extra strength not needed!

Feet closer together, start by travelling in a straight line, and simply bounce up and down both feet together, to feel the lift you get on the up side as the skis rise out of the snow.

When that feels ok, point downhill, go faster than you would normally want and make a lazy turn as you rise up, don't try and carve. Keep on bouncing, and turn at the top of the bounce.

This is the way I got started :D

The worst thing about the BBC network cutting the end off Ski Sunday, was we missed our tribute to Sarah Burke. Me and @snowedleigh gutted.
