Skiing on the little nearby hill

Yesterday, I went skiing at the closest “decent” place to go skiing, which is Stoos. There are a couple of places closer to Zug, such as Rigi, but these places tend to be very small ski-areas and not really of any interest to me, so Stoos, with a height of 1922m (6305 feet) really is the local hill for skiing purposes. By public transport, it takes a bit over an hour to get there from where we live.

Conditions for ski-ing were fabulous: there has been tons of snow over the last few weeks, the sun was shining and the skiresort was not too crowded. Although the sun was shining on the ski-slopes, there was a thick fog in the valley, as is so often the case around here, creating some really nice views with peaks sticking out through the clouds.

Although pictures do not fully do the views justice, here are a few images for your enjoyment. As always, click on the images for larger versions:
