The new built-in headphones and there mute button were a major success.  The Nidie was the right choice of board.  Conditions were set to be superb.  Unfortunately, the light was so bad (riding in fog) that it made every run an extra special challenge.

The mountain was slow to open.  We made the best of the conditions around the Jock.  However, the snow was very wet, which made it extremely heavy.  Off piste powder turns were a major challenge.

We left Parsenn with a charge down the village run on some of the stickiest snow I've ridden.  It's like trying to ride with the hand brake on!

I transferred to Jakobshhorn on my own.  The light was better, but conditions were sketchy.  The piste was very choppy and the lifts were closing early.  I had one decent run in the off piste down towards the Clavadeler then bailed out.

Quiet night in is the bid.
