the weather was amazing like i said... we couldnt have asked for better. the resort was incredible with the 15 lifts they had and miles and miles of trails. there was one run called the traumpiste (dream run), that was 12km long...i think i took it about 6 times. That is about 10-15 minutes of straight snowboarding or skiing depending on how fast i went and how many times i stopped to stare at the alps.It really was incredible. The snow was perfect, only a little icy in some spots, but there was powder all over the place. I managed to make at least one painfull fall everyday, except the day i had the ski blades. Usually involved going on jumps and launching up and landing in some painful position then sliding 30 feet down the hill. haha that always makes for good fun. We stayed in a hutte which is like a condo sort of thing, where you cook and clean and everything. there were 4 families, and then my friends and i who were invited from the son of a family there. more is always better, and cheaper too! but i have to go now, i ran out of time. enjoy the pics.

Those are some awesome pictures. Did you just download those from the internet and superimpose your immage on them or something, cause no offspring of mine could actually afford to ski in the Swiss alps. Could they? Hum...maybe there is life beyond the west coast.
Kari...you're never gonna believe what happened...Kyle bought a sand rail frame! Isn't that cool? His boyhood dream, finally come true...just like you!
Has mom sent you a picture of our oregon property with all the old-growth sage brush? What about my rendered picture of our perspective home? Quite a contrast between the Swiss alps and Christmas valley. You're probably gonna want to stay in Christmas valley after you see all it has to offer eh?
Love pOP ps...thank you for all the beautiful pictures!!! Use your video camera AND SEND US THE TAPE!
Awesome photos. I really dig the blades/ski one!
