Did a warm-up climb onto the Niderhorn in the Simmental. Very nice, climbed a ridge all the way (no danger for avalanches). Up on top not that much snow, all windblown, but on the side skiing down we found some really nice powder. Quite cold with a stiff northerly breeze.

Went to Adelboden to escape our fog/clouds and found sunshine! Did the valleyfloor loop. It did lots of undulating along a slight slope which made it hard technically to push uphill. First a 7k loop, then another 3 1/2 k loop.Met up with Christine, Kurt and their grandson.

Teaching my yoga class

A very sunny beautiful day, and we have received tons of snow these last 2 weeks. Went to Beatenberg, Waldegg and did the "Ambühl" loop but as there were lots of people and dogs and sledders using the nicely groomed and prepared x-c tracks, I went further towards Habkern until the grooming stopped. Turning back the same way. Annoying these people on the tracks when there are at least another official sledding track and a snowshoe trail and a winterwalking trail. But it was very nice to be out anyway.
Had to hurry as we had the yearly hotel field trip and party in the evening.

Teaching my 3 Tuesday classes with lots of leg and calf exercises, some core strength and balances with weights.

Teaching core conditioning class with some strength emphasis on legstrength endurance and balance.

Big class today: went behind the pool along railroad tracks, up at Harder trail and back down to the marmots and along pigeon trail to Goldswil and Aare back. Nice group and good pace!
