Ski Break in Crans-Montana, Switzerland

As Mid-February in Germany is grey and gloomy, we all took a week-long ski break. I went with Stephanie, Zina, Jens, Jessica, and Matt to Crans-Montana, Switzerland for a little snowboarding.

Crans-Montana is only about 50 km from Chamonix, France.


Waking up to the morning sun - view from the porch of our little apartment.



Will heads off piste on a trail blazed through waist-deep powder.

There was so much powder I didn't know what to do with myself!











On our way home - grape vines flanked the valley floor.
