Lenzerheide Redux

Today I went skiing at lenzerheide with a couple friends. We managed to catch the 630 train from zurich and were skiing by 930 or so. The weather was amazingly good as was the snow and temperature, consequently my face and especially my lips are throughly burned.
After the first run we managed to lose one of the guys who started with us. We had a series of (mis)communications, texts, and moving around before, evidently, he lost his phone and the lift-attendant found it. Needless to say we never saw him again, but did manage to get his phone.
We had lunch at the Alp Lavoz lodge and enjoyed the half-price food making it quite reasonable to eat but not drink on the mountain (Aelpermacaroni : macaroni with cheese, ham, potato, and apple sauce was only $8)
We set out in the afternoon and it was going well but the runs had become quite mogulled out. So we managed to ski from one side of the valley to the other using a nice ski-route going under the road. The other side was nearly empty and even more beautiful. The top gondola actually treks a little bit onto the other side of the mountain so you can see fantastic views of the alps without ski-lifts, tracks, and houses interrupting. There was also a 100m or so unlit tunnel you had to ski through which was really cool.
After skiing a few of us went to dinner at Papa Joe's. I ordered and split "The Big One" a 3/4 lb burger with coconut, bananas, cheedar cheese, and the usual fixings. One of the guys with us was from sweden and upon seeing it asked what size that would burger would be in america, a normal, a small? We do have a little bit of a bad rap with food.

All in all a fantastic day
