Today was another ski plan with the others, though David and Nikolaj slept late and Rebecca, Ginny and Anna weren't feeling very adventurous so decided to do a short loop rather than a long one. Alex fell in the icy conditions and pulled out of the ski touring early.
Christian and I packed a lunch, and set off to look at conditions. Can't remember if we skiied at all, but we met up with Jen and Andy, but swiftly relocated to the hotel for coffees.
After that, we decided that a walk was best given the abundance of ice, and set off across the lake, and on a loop around the north side of the lake. It was a good length walk, and with our new spikes, it was perfectly manageable.
We sat on rocks beside the path to eat our lunch, and cooled down scarily quickly. The views on the way back were beautiful.
Meanwhile, Andy and Jen had relocated to hillside cabin, and everyone but us had had lunch in hillside cabin and left a big mess. We got back, and I promptly jumped into the sauna with Alex, Meelis, David and Rebecca. Ginny and Anna joined soon after. We put stones in the element cage, and the temperature was very warm. Christian cleaned up the lunch.
When it got hot enough, some of us ran outside in the snow (Ginny and Anna actually rolled in it, I think, while I just plastered myself with it) and ran back into the sauna. It actually was enjoyable, and I can say I've done it.
We all had dinner in the top cabin - Andy made some amazing pesto tofu and soy protein bolognaise with pasta, and Alex and I assisted. It was delicious.
It was a good day, but the lack of good snow and warm conditions was frustrating.
