Yesterday, I went skiing at the closest “decent” place to go skiing, which is Stoos<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n
