picture of the week 04

the past sat­ur­day we wanted to go ski­ing. when we arrived in adel­bo­den at 20 past 9 in the morn­ing we were informed that the whole ski-region is closed because of the gug­giföhn (a wind with veloc­i­ties up to 246 km/h). we then waited for more infor­ma­tions, but around 10:30 it was evi­dent that the chair­lifts and cable­cars won’t open for the day.

we then decided to switch to the engstli­ge­nalp, but it turned out that the föhn was blow­ing there, too.

before we drove to grindel­wald we first called them, and indeed, they were closed, too. so after a short debate we decided to do some­thing really silly, namely drive from fruti­gen to le bou­veret into the aqua­parc, with­out chang­ing any clothes and leav­ing ski equipement for five per­sons in the car.

this explains why pesche stands in front of those tobog­gans with his snow­board clothes:

in the end it was also rather funny, but a ski­ing day would have been more welcome.
