Skiing - Day 2

Day 2 brought heavy snow and clouds. The kids were back in ski school so Daphne and I again had the mountain to ourselves (along with the thousands of Dutch. I would not have thought that people living below sea-level would be such avid skiers.)

You can see the snow blowing in front of my jacket. Daphne bought a new helmet and goggles. You can see we were at 2,100 meters in elevation.

It was tough to photograph but we got about 6 inches overnight on the mountain. There was almost too much snow.

Daphne liked the trails that cut through the tall trees. (Classic picture with Daphne's finger in the bottom right corner.)

Something about the fresh snow and the end of the week brings out the crazy in people. We watched the emergency helicopter going up and down all day. They actually fly a doctor out to a crash scene via a hanging basket. He does what he can on the mountain and then all are lifted by helicopter to the hospital. They charge the victim ~9K Euro for the rescue.
