snow
White Christmas - sort of
Germans have this obsession with snow on Christmas, a
bit similiar to the american obsession with weather
in general (by that I mean "severe
weather"). So, the weather forecasters guess
weeks ago if we are going to have a white
christmas or not. I did not really pay
attention, how they did this time. But, after
celebrating my nephews birthday on the 23rd in
Jena we went out with our friends Stefanie &
Jens to a bar - and it started snowing -
yeah!
I like snow a lot and the night got even more surprising when we met 5 people or so at that bar, Cafe Central, (which kind of used to be one of our favourite hangouts, and does not even have a website, since I did not find one...) which we had not senn in 2 years or more. So, it became a pretty long night, but it was fun!
The snow did not stick around for very long, netx morning it was aleady pretty sketchy. We spend the rest of the holidays at my parents home and had soooo much soooo good food...

Skifahren

Die Unmengen an Schnee, die in diesem Sommer auf die
Cascade Mountains niedergehen
verleiten einen dann doch mal zum Skifahren.
Günstigerweise ist der Chef Snowboardfan und lud
uns in seinen, dem Leser bekannten Minivan, auf nach Stevens Pass, einem Skigebiet
ca. 2h NE von Seattle.
60 cm Neuschnee in der Nacht zuvor - da macht Skifahren Spass! Eine neue Skibrille, mit Anti-Fog Technologie musste her, da es immer noch schneite. Erstaunlich, wie die orange Farbe die Kontraste verstärkt und einen sicher durch den Tiefschnee geleitet. Das ist übrigens die gute Seite des Regens, denn wenn es in Seattle regnet, schneit es in den Bergen. Was jetzt nicht heissen soll, dass es viel regnet.
