Verbier Switzerland

Verbier, Switzerland, the home of the steepest ski run (Mont Fort), the longest mogul run in the Alps, and the biggest 'chair lift' (not a chair lift by any means, more a human moving machine called 'Le Jumbo')

Theresa and I thought it was time for some more 'rock hoping' and 'sand surfing', but this time is the Swiss Alps. A 7 hour bus ride with the Frankfurt International Ski Club for 2 days of skiing on the 'nonexistent snow' in Verbier, Switzerland.


The weather wasn't the best (minimal amounts of sun, lots and lots of wind (even causing the lift to close for 30 minutes with 5 from our group sitting on it) and very, very flat light for skiing) but the company was great (9 total in our group).

This is to just show how little snow there is in the Alps this year... We (Theresa and I) are on the gondola going down the mountain... NO SNOW (the sad part is we just past the half way point where there is normally feet and feet of snow.) Sad story for the Alps this year!
