Terryl was excited to experience skiing in the Alps and Scott recently reunited with an old friend who lives in Switzerland (thank you Facebook). Giancarlo was an exchange student at Scott's high school (Go bucks?) in PA and he invited us to stay at his hotel in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
Terryl & Scott enjoyed skiing and snowboarding in the perfect sunny weather.
We had wonderful timing to be in Lenzerheide because the Ski World Cup finals were on the same mountain! We got to watch and celebrate with all the SKI pros. There was tons of food (the smell of feet (melted cheese) stanking up the air), live music, and dancing right on the slope.

I chose not to ski and went on a few beautiful mountain hikes (following pink signs called Wanderwegs). Eventually, I met Scott and Terri on the mountain at a bar with an incredible view.
On day 2, I purchased a sled to make my hiking more exhilarating.

By the end of the day, it was freezing so we took the Gondola home

We stayed at G's hotel called Kurhaus. It had a Lounge, Tapas Bar and a Nightclub on the property (convenient indeed- no jacket needed finally). G took great care of us (see martinis below).

G brought us an amazing Tapas dinner with traditional Spanish treats and local Swiss favorites.
