Saas-Fee: Swiss skiing sojourn set to song

Stefan’s company sprung for a weekend trip to Saas-Fee, and we tacked on a couple extra nights to make a little holiday of it. Fun! Here’s a wee bit of our trip (unfortunately not much of Stefan’s beautiful skiing, he can shoot and ski at the same time so he did most of the filming).

I’d never taken a funicular inside a tunnel — exciting! It’s the way up to the world’s highest revolving restaurant and a large under-glacier ice pavillion. There were lots of non-skiers up there, too.

I rented different skis every day because I’m looking to buy new ones. I can really tell the differences now. Don’t think I’d buy any that I tried. I had Salomon Equipe 3V Powerline racing skis one day — grippingest skis I’ve ever used, and it made a big difference! I was able to easily go faster than ever before. They were soooo heavy to carry around, though. They might have been more ski than I need now… but in a year? Who knows!

Note: Rates for the historic Hotel du Glacier on Expedia are per room and pretty much everywhere else it’s per person (read: double the price).
