Skiing

So I could create an entire blog dedicated to all the great places we have explored skiing this winter. Last weekend we went to Flims/Laax. Really great. You take a bergbannen (not sure what it is called in English- a large rectangular cable car that you squeeze an impossible number of people into and then hope for the best) up to the base of the ski hills and then either gondolas or chairlifts to the top. The Swiss are big fans of the t-bar or drag lifts. Tough on the older knees. This weekend we saw our first "craplift" Just a chairlift with a name that made the 14 year old really laugh! I think we may have finally tired Sophie out. Now if we can just do the same for Noah I will know we have gotten our money's worth. We dragged him off the hill begging for "just one more run".
