As the title of this post suggest, I spent Easter in Verbier Switzerland. This trip were going to be the perfect closure to an incredible ski season. Even though I went to Val d'Isere in late April after the Verbier trip I would still like to remember Verbier as the last ski days because of the excellent weather, snow conditions and some nice after-ski. The last ski day in Val d'Isere I experienced a snowstorm and some nice zero visibility conditions but that's another story.
Myself and Fredrik was asked by Johanna if we would like to join her and some of her friends on a Easter vacation skiing, and as always when opportunities to have fun appears we always take the advantage of it.
Surprisingly the capacity of the ski area was really poor and you had to wait quite often just to enter the lifts. The problem was that there were to few chair lifts and too many large teleferics. For example in Val Thorens they have many very fast 8 seat chair lifts, in Verbier there were only a few. Anyway the skiing highlight was the tour de ski tracks going outside the prepared ski area. These tracks took you almost a hour and a half to complete depending on the choice of track, and you were quite exhausted afterwards, but it was only here that I felt that I really improved my skiing skills.
The evenings were spent doing some serious after-ski or going to restaurants eating for example Suisse raclette. At Easter Eve we did a Easter meal of our own consisting of Gammel Dansk, wine, delicious pieces of cheese and some other finger food.
Apparently this is also were the Swedes go nowadays, haven't heard or seen so many Swedes in the whole season as in Verbier, we also had some royal company in form of Victoria and Daniel during our stay.
To conclude the trip I would say it was a perfect end to the ski season with great company, warm and nice weather, good slopes and some descent partying.
