Headed over to Luzern, Switzerland for ten days in mid-February. In between trips to Sweden, Germany, a pitch black restaurant in Zurich called the Blind Cow, and the epic Fasnacht festival that doubled as the best 30th birthday party ever, I managed to make it over to Engelberg twice.
The first day was great - but it hadn't snowed for a couple of weeks and the off piste terrain generally felt like skiing on a chalkboard. On the second day, however, the 2-4 inches in the forecast magically turned into 2-4 feet, resulting in the deepest day I've ever had.
I took an absurd amount of video, and had a hard time cutting footage out, even though most of it didn't come out very well. Visibility wasn't great on either day, but during the snow storm on the second day, it was just about impossible to differentiate between the pow I was slapping on the ground and the pow that was falling from the sky and slapping me in the face. The lack of a fish eye on the Contour didn't help, either, because it prevents the viewer from being able to at least see my ski tips.
But enough talk. Enjoy the video, which features a 9 minute techno song and guest stars Scot and Dean Osgood. Additoinal footage staring Kelly O'Hearn and Nikki Roux is available upon special request.
Switzerland, I miss you already.
