Decided to explore more of the Grubenalp area.  Unlucky for me, the wind was so strong it made riding difficult, and not much fun.  New skycap was comfortable though.

Met Patrick on the Hill with ten punters (he was guiding).  I tagged along.  In an attempt to find a sheltered area we cut through the rope just as the Schifer bubble closed because of the weather.  This put us on the slushy route to Klosters as the only way down that didn't involve a walk!

Remounted on the Gotchna and made our way via the Grubenalp to the Parsenn Hutte.  Lucked-out again, the chair to the Jock was closed and the queue for the cable car was massive.  Patrick left most of his punters at the Hutte and we headed down to Wolfgang - my first trip, not bad, best bit of the day.

In a desperate attempt to make something more out of the day we transferred to Jakobshorn, which was every bit as horrid.  I lunched at the Jatz then took just one ride to Bolgun.

Not much of a day, despite all the effort.  Dropped the Palmer off at Etinger's for a service.  Quiet evening of recovery ahead.

FOOTNOTE: made a late appearance at the Egg and was invited to play piano in exchange for wine - we've all made easier decisions than that!
