Post-Easter 2008

He is risen indeed!

Great words for an Easter Sunday!

Our Easter weekend was wunderschön, albeit rather cold. How cold? VERY cold. Snowing cold.

Woke up on Easter Monday (a holiday here in Germany) to a couple of centimetres of snow on the ground. Tuesday morning we, therefore, packed up the kids, packed up the sleds and headed for the slopes of Marzell.



Down in the valley of the Kander (in Rümmingen) we only had a little snow, and only for a little while. Up in the valley above Marzell (slightly higher altitude) there was at least 15cm of snow, a nicely packed base, and not too many people on the slopes.

These pics may not do the coldness of the day justice, but you can get the idea ...


Mama Fox hits the slopes!


Papa Fox does too ... (he's riding a sled that sits about a foot off the ground - so the snow was at least 10")


The youngest contemplates the cameraman as a target (but thankfully reconsiders)


The middle kit prepares for another run


... and the eldest in a flurry of snow
