Ski Day at Engelberg with Friends

Oh, such a beautiful day in the gorgeous, rocky, snowy mountains made by the Amazing Creator Dude. Who also made our wonderful friends who came with us. A truly lovely time:

1. On the way to Engelberg, after emerging from the foggy lowlands into the brilliant sunshine.

2-5. Scenery to lift the heart and inspire worship.

6-8. Jason up high. Thankfully, he decided not to ski over the cliff.

9. The gang. This is a lovely family we are thankful to know from church and the international school.

10-11. Jason mid-jump, and then communing with the mountain. 

12. One of my favorite rock faces in Engelberg. I really want to go back in summer sometime to hike.

At one point during the day, we got to see some impressive jumps - one guy did a 900º spin (as best we can calculate) in the air, landing backwards, and was just fine. Crazy, maybe, but happy and healthy post-jump. Another guy took off backwards, turned 180º and flailed his arms and legs on purpose before landing forwards perfectly casually...I could have stood and watched these guys all day, but we had our own exercise and fun to have. Which, for me, includes no jumps, but plenty of downhill skiing on reds and blacks.
