How sassy is Saas Fee...?

Despite the gloom and doom forecast by the meteo, Sunday dawned bright
- again no alarm as the iPhone outsmarted me again! A 10 min train
ride and a 40 min drive had us in Saas Fee - for the day! It was more
like Saas no horse town as we yomped to the lifts - yomping seems to
be very much part of the Swiss ski scene. A couple of lifts had us to
3500m in amongst some impresssive glaciers (note to self, don't ski
off piste?!?!) Despite thinking it would be all glacier runs -
shallow and easy, when you drop off the snout (and that's a genuine
term!) you get to some proper Red n Black thigh burners!! :-) Once
you've recovered, grab the cablecar and funicular and do it all again
and again... Finally when it's cold enough to freeze the nose hair
(should this blog have a health/age/decency warning??) it's off to
find a gluhwien or 2! So, is it sassy? Yeah - I'd go back when there
are a few more runs open.

  1. Nice picture did you take a shot of the 2 of you with your Ipone? Told you that thing is not able to take proper pictures :D You should switch to the HTC...

    Have one or two Gluwine for me as well.
