Adelboden Thursday 30 Jan - Day 6

Overcast again and almost no sun all day apart from trying to break through late morning. After talking about it we agreed Hilary shouldn't ski as the light wasn't going to be good. She came down to Oey with us and took back the skis and boots but came back up to use the iPad and find local walk information.

The others weren't feeling adventurous so Dave B and I went to Metsch and did the blue before going up to Metschstand and the run that branches left to Breggen and down to Buhlberg. Met the others at the round drinks bar beside Hannenmoos restaurant, and Hilary appeared almost at the same time having met a nice Swiss lady who shared the gondola up.

Did a few runs at Metsch during the hour before lunch. Shared a pizza before setting off on my own again as the others didn't like the conditions and were making their way back to Berglager.

Went up to Lavey and down the long red to Abie. Fast conditions and adequate light but looking like snow was on the way. Came down the blue run parallel to the poling route, delightfully quick and easy by comparison. Hilary was there with the new friend, having walked with her from Geils.
