Until Next Time, Engelberg

Day 2 in Engelberg was a bit of a lazy one for us. We skied so hard on our first, epic, day that our bodies were a bit fried. That in combination with some good 'ol jet lag caused a bit of a late start. We returned to the Laub face which was still really nice for some fun, fast GS turns in chopped pow. Around lunchtime we hopped a bus to the sunny side of the valley to check out Bruni. The sun had definitely baked it a bit over there, but the chair ride afforded us some really cool views of the terrain we had skied over off of Titlis. 

The activity and jet lag caught up with us pretty hard and we more or less crashed out, early evening.

With the warm temps, the snow changed pretty drastically by our third day here. Skiing was still good and fun, but much harder and more taxing on the legs. Laub face continued to deliver with some wind transported snow. We also did some exploring on the lift Jochstock that we hadn't checked out yet which opened up some very cool terrain and new views of the grand Alps.

Snow is in the forecast this evening, and we are hopeful to see a bit of a reset through the region as we head South to Andermatt.

Thank you, Engelberg. You've treated us well...

View from Bruni looking back at Titlis – Galtiberg is below the huge cliff wall left of center,  Laub is the diamond snow field dead center, the upper runs off Titlis follow the ridge line to the right of the weather station towards the top center & Jochstock is far upper right a ways out of view

No, Aron – I don't think it gets any more Swiss than this

You can encounter the strangest things mid-run in Switzerland

Fun turns off of Jochstock & making the best of some challenging snow

The Swiss Alps are just so majestic

It's just all so Swiss, down to the little yellow snow cat

Fondu is so tasty, hard to know when to quit, but your belly will definitely let you know you overindulged
