Davos wins 4:3
... with just 2mins remaining and then within 5mins of overtime got that tiny little puck slamming into the net to win 4:3!!!

The calm before the storm
... as am I – and Vicky on Christmas Eve.
No skiing yet, as lifts only opened yesterday and it’s been snowing ever since. I hope to have a cross country lesson on Wednesday, and lots of skiing planned for when the girls arrive. In the meantime Arosa is a paradise for walkers, tobogganers and skaters and I have done all three
