E-Berg Revisted.....POWPOW V2

So almost a year ago J and I road-tripped to Engelberg for a little pow skiing in March (Linky) and one year later mother nature returned with some great pow in E-berg.

Jay and I arrived Thursday night in a snow storm. View from the room:

Everything was setting up for a Friday. After a sleepless style night (I was really stoked to ski) we woke to a mix of sun and clouds..perfect for the ski ski!

After a nice lap on the Laub the top opened and it was time for the Steinberg!

The day was killer with over 8000M+ of pure pow! The day ended with a burger a beer at the Yucatan.

Saturday we woke to another perfect day. The snow was still soft but tracked. That was OK because scenery and skiing with friends rocks. We even ran into Jason (see Verbier and A-Matt posts)....

...this day we replicated the 8000M+ and we were pooped!

A nice 2+ hour ride back to Lasaunne and a little suprise party for Jay. Happy B-Day!

Sunday was a down day...but as work passes this week I still dream about the pow in E-Berg. Friday was one of the top 5 days of all-time...CH ROCKS!

On a side, life here in GE is still great. KK is doing well and we continue to love CH everyday. Much love to fams and friends...we miss you. -GG
