Collected the Palmer from Ettinger, who had produced another of their top services.

Started on my own riding the off piste powder on the 'Hilary Clinton' run in superb conditions. I was making fresh tracks all over Parsenn when Patrick and H joined me later morning.

We charged round the lake, behind the boarder-X, then all over the place on the way down to Schiffe. Made some fantastic turns in some of the best conditions I can remember.

Lightning lunch at the Alto Schwendi, then we rode from the top of the Gipfel back to Schiffe taking in as much off piste as possible.

As the day drew to a close the light faded, the snow restarted and we took a big one down to the village at warp speed.

Top day out. I celebrated with a purchase of the bespoke headphones that fit my new Skycap.

Supper plans with Patrick and H. It's still snowing. Time to get the powder gun out of the cellar. Stay tuned...

FOOTNOTE: supper at Pauliner was super. We then transferred to the Egg, where I played piano in exchange for booze! This is becoming a good little gig!
