A morning of getting sorted led to an afternoon of chill and incredible vistas of the Matterhorn. There are 3 or 4 ski areas with multiple Gondolas taking you left right and up the middle. The main runs are hard-packed and many, quite narrow en route to the lifts. You can venture a little off-piste but if you're not careful can get stuck in a gully and need to hike out (not from experience though!) After a short afternoon exploring the hill and nearly losing Aidan (we went right and he - left) we trekked back to town and to the swimming pool ... no - large hot tub located in the hotel across the street associated with our apartment complex. Being country hicks and all, we barreled in, stripped off in the front entry of the pool and got ready to go before being confronted by the official pool-man who showed us the locker room and fetched us some keys. Once in the pool, Piper did her best impressions of drowning and the boys enjoyed splashing themselves with snow and jumping back in the steaming pool. Chicken cordon bleu for dinner amply filled the gullet and then, without much adieu, we crashed. The boys have been signed up for some more half day lessons for the week and Piper gets to do some kinder up the mountain for a few days. Should be fun!
