Skiing with my Father and sister in Arosa

My parents go on vacation every year in Arosa. And they invited my sister and me for the week-end for skiing there.

The road from Zurich to Arosa is 100 miles and you can do it in two hours. Due to heavy snowing - alone in the Zurich over 200 accidents were counted - we had to drive really careful and up the road from Chur to Arosa with 256 turns, we had to put snow chains on our tires. (If you haven't done it the last 20 years, not that easy!)

But the long and dangerous driving was worthy it, as we could enjoy a delicious meal at my parents place. But for skiing we had to wait until next day, as there was still heavy snowing and it got colder and colder.

Finally in the morning the sky cleared up and you see here me with my father before going up to the skiing place.

Here you see my sister and my father on the top of the "Weisshorn" 2,653 metres (8,704 ft)

I also made it there.

Here you see the Weisshorn and its black and red ski slopes, which offer some fantastic skiing!
