Yesterday the skiing went much better already although the afternoon was cloudy and suddenly everything was so white that you couldn't see anything at all - not where the slope ends or starts, not if it goes up or downhill. And the last Glyhwein didn't help but we got home safe. Then the promised sauna adventure took a bad turn. Started off really well but as I waited for two guys to get out of the showers before I could go out I probably overstayed. Anyway - tryed the snowrub outside which was nice and then into the shower which was not very nice as I felt I was going to pass out. Somehow managed to grab a towel and sit down. One fellow sauna-goer, a German gentleman helped with another towel and there I sat and it just didn't get any better. Don't know for how long. Finally Robert got fed up being in the pool with the kids and came looking for me. Then I really had a blackout, probably not having to try so hard to stay concious. Only after he carried me to the pool area where the loungers could tilt ones feet up did it get better and after a while I could go back up. I guess it was a combination of the altitude, dehydration, too long sauna and then the steep drop of temperature outside. Not to mention the Glyhwein. Somehow alcohol has a different (read "stronger") effect at 2020 meters above sea level.
So I took it easy with the wine at dinner, which was very casual last night, only 6 courses! Skipped the wine and dessert and much better today.
The weather has changed and it was around 0 degrees today. Had to strip off, so hot! But it was also sunny and such brilliant skiing. Have become more daring by the third day and tryed out some new RED!!! slopes today. Really a great skiing day. And Beatrice went up the lift as well with her school. All kids really enjoy it and are making good progress.
Will probably give the sauna a miss tonight, just dig into the Tiramisu!
