Skiing below the Eiger

Finally a fine day in Grindelwald and we were able to get in a bit of skiing.

This pic was taken looking back up towards the Jungfraujoch 'top of Europe' observatory. See that small pimple on the left side of the saddle? That's the five story observatory.

And just in case the mountains don't look that big, check out the size of the ski lifts in the bottom of the second pic.

Amazing views.

Bloody cold though. It was -7 degrees and windy when I took these pics so it seemed much colder.

Thank god for trees on European skifields. Down below the treeline it was much more pleasant.
