Splügen

So.... the sands of time have slipped away on another year of my life and to celebrate this inextrable decline towards 40, we went on a ski trip to Splügen. 

Why Splügen? Well, you can get there on the bus inside of an hour and they aren't Ticinese :-)

(I managed to leave the camera battery on the charger at home, so the pics may of lower quality as I had to use the phone) 

Unimog U4000.
Note the concrete slab counterweight on the back.

Meike (L) Mark (R) at the top of the cable car.

So.....is anyone else coming to ski?

Mystery tunnel on the decent back to the carpark.... but this is Switzerland and they have a LOT of mystery tunnels

Friday morning and what a view

Hotel Bodenhaus, Splügen

The lounge

Saturday morning....Why go to St Moritz when you can come here and have the place to yourself.

More heavy equipment. Piste bashers this time.

Hands up who's sleepy?
Have another beer then :-)

The hotel came equipped with a sauna, swimming pool and .....fallout shelter.
Here we see Mark checking it out.(outer door) Oddly, we met some people coming the other way.....

Outer door from the "foyer". Note spanner.
Not sure how effective this would be if you have a stairway full of rubble and a 2 ton door to shift. 

On Sunday it snowed. Mark in the snow, warming up his Spider Senses.

Andy in the snow....Warming up his hands.
