It seems that Blogger changed something and Windows Live Writer was unable to talk to it anymore. Once you've got used to Live Writer, you really don't want to use anything else, least of all the online "editor".
Couple that with an extremely tight social schedule and the time for blogging rapidly disappears. Yesterday we had a very strong blizzard and so much snow we had to dig the car out with a shovel. The roads were particularly exciting and i saw a truck that had dropped over the edge of one of the hairpin bends and wedged itself in some trees. No one was hurt, fortunately.
Happily for Jonathan, who has just arrived, it's sunny this morning so he can actually see how stunning the Alps are when covered in snow.
Sadly, it was The Phils last day yesterday. Personally, we're hoping their car is totally buried in snow so they're forced to stay out here a bit longer! Yesterday, because of the blizzard, most of the resort was closed because of the extremely strong winds. There's nothing like sitting on a chairlift in a snow storm while they stop the lift and let you swing in the wind and zero-visibility whiteout too many meters above the ground. My face is now raw from being blasted by the snow all day.
Because of all the closures, we were stuck in the trees above Lindarets. This is not, by any standard, a bad thing. We had an awesome time and came down the same forested slope about five times, on five totally different routes. This is us somewhere in those trees, still in the blizzard. At times the wind was so strong that it shook all the snow out of the trees themselves, adding to the snow-storm.
These extreme conditions, i have to admit, are my favourite!
