A challenging day on the slopes
Madeline decided to go for another lesson today - smart move! The other 3 of us tackled the slopes on our own. Turns out Lewis and I bit off a bit more than we could chew. We were going along with Leanne and she went down a run that looked a bit too ...
Fast wie Zermatt
Ein paar Tage in den Rockies verbringen war ein klares Ziel unserer Reise. Ein weiteres Must-Do (Wandern in den Rockies) kann abgehackt werden. Es war auch interessant, einen US-Skiort mit Zermatt vergleichen zu können. ...

Arrival
