24 HOURS ON A MOUNTAIN



























It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, 
the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam.
 This crisp winter air is full of it.
 ~John Burroughs, "Winter Sunshine"

A winter's day on a mountain top, blue sky and sunshine,
a night in a cosy chalet, 
a walk to a ski village to enjoy a gondola ride,
a steaming coffee, sitting outdoors in the warm sunshine, 
a soak in a hot-tub,
good food with family and friends,
 curling up with a book,
 watching grand-boys at play.... all added up to a satisfying 24 hours.




The ice tower

Pristine tubing runs

Ready - Set - Ski all day
not me!

Grand-boys with endless energy after a day of skiing

Families spending quality time on this winter holiday


Following the sunset - homeward bound
