I arrived in Stuttgart at about 5pm, just as the first snowflakes were falling. I had time to eat a waffle and snap a few pictures of the schloßplatz before being picked up at the central station.
By the time we reached the mountain pass to Grasgehren we needed to put on the snow chains.
"Don't worry, I'm a very experienced winter driver."
With nearly three feet of snow on the mountain we headed up the pass...slowly.
This was the only lift operating and it was opening day so there weren't many other people braving the sideways-blowing snow.
Breaktime. Gulaschsuppe und bier. And a thumb.
It was snowing *this hard*. Had to dig the car out of about a foot, maybe two of snow. Then went to change and use the bathroom...ten minutes later, another inch on the roof.
Going down was considerably more hairy.
"I'm only wearing the helmet because it's warm."
Every good surf trip has a good surf-mom behind it.
Powder on the bus at Kukusruf Str.
Came home to a frozen Stockholm. 2 hour flight delay coming in due to snow/fog at Arlanda Int'l. Great session--powder all the way, nearly empty and with the Kleinbubs.
