Skiing in Wengen

Would you go on holiday with a group of ski geeks from the internet that you've never met? I did, and it was probably the best ski holiday I've ever had!

The snowHeads Mid Season Bash was in Wengen, Switzerland again in March. The snow was not bad, although it did rain mid-week, so a bunch of us decided to walk down to Lauterbrunnen, along the valley, and then up to Mürren and back by train/cablecar.
The highlight of the week was the slalom race on the top section of the famous Lauberhorn world cup circuit. I didn't crash on either run, but did come close on the 2nd run! My final times were right in the middle of about 40 people, which was not bad for a rookie.

After an excellent week, and meeting a great bunch of fellow skiers, I cannot wait for the next bash!
