Last day of 09/10 ski season?????

So the X-team A and B squad were in full effect for the yearly Beach Party at G3. We met up with Tam, Tom, and J in the AM to rendezvous with Mr. Pine and Matt in Le Sepey. After picking up some chow for a picnic it was off to the glacier. We were blessed with a perfect day!



The whole crew was enjoying the sun and snow...KK and Tamster:

Jay:

Tom:

Al and Matt:

..and skiing too!




...even the local birds were enjoying the sun:

After a few runs in the mushy snow it was time for a picnic...


...at picnic time Tom decided to switch up the gear so he could get a free drink at the beach party:

After a few more runs it was time to head to the beach party...the team was ready to celebrate another great year...and AL'S B-DAY!...and of course to get in a last hot tub!

After a few cocktails at the beach party it was time to head home (thanks KK for being our DD)..but we had one more for Al at the local bar in Les D...the saucy b-day boy!

As the season ends I am a little sad...but I think back to all the great times I have enjoyed with my wife and friends...and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to live here in CH and live the life I do.....truly......and as always much love to my family that continues to support my love, passions, and ambitions....as always more to come!

Ski and Bike= Awesomeness!

So Tam, Tom, Jay, and I headed to Crans to get in a last few turns bfore the snow melted away. KK was meeting up with Mette so she chilled in GE. It was perfectly sunny and we had a great time on the hill exploring Crans.


Picnic time!

Getting a little thin on the bottom:

At the end of the day we stopped by the local brewery for an end of day beer.

That night we hooked up with KK at J's and celebrated his b-day (belated) with a nice BBQ.
The next day KK got up early and enjoyed the great weather and did some biking around GE.


On the way home we hit the "marche" in FR and hooked up with some b-fast booty.

A great way to start the spring....we even got our deck garden started too!


As always more to come!

1 year and counting.....

So a year ago on April 13th KK and I made it official....and a few weeks before that we said our vows in CH, so in celebration of that day we headed back into the mtns to spends some quality time with each other. On Friday night we headed to Sion for a nice dinner at GP and stayed at the old faithful Ibis.
Saturday we woke to a picture perfect day and headed to Chandolin/St. Luc to get some skiing in. Down skis were in the house!

Weather was perfect!



Skiing was fun:


...but the best part....we arranged to stay at the Weisshorn. This is a hotel built in the late 19th century and is only accessible by touring or cat. KK and I opted for the cat because we had our alpine gear. We waited a few minutes in the sun before our chariot arrived.



Upon arrival we were taken back in time...super old school and perfect!






Perfect...and had the best views:





KK had set up a bottle of bubbly and some flowers...as if thing could get better!

We had a great time at Weisshorn that night with a few glasses of bubbly and a nice meal in the Alps. the next AM we packed up the backpack and headed back across the ski area to our car in Chandolin......and we didn't forget the flowers!

On the way home we grabbed some sandwiches from the local bakery and ended our already great weekend with a nice picnic in a vineyard.....


Don't pinch me......I don't want to wake up..........
