This is me when its snowing:

& When its sunny:

The rest of the time I'm working or sleeping

the snow photo was taken after a particularly long day of work - I finished at 3 & it was snowing hard, we were pretty sure the lifts were closed. So me & Amelia went for a walk in the snow. we turned right out the chalet and walked up the hill to the 6 mile Hannig toboggan run, which I rode down until i spotted a 2 foot drop that had been shaped into a jump, and that i'd seen other riders sessioning from my balcony a few weeks earlier. i hit it a couple of times, really nice shape, and a good jump for trying spins as it launches you horizontally rather than upwards. however since then the snow has melted & the runup is grass : ( looks like i've missed my chance to land a 360 off that one.

the sun photo was taken on my warmest day here so far - it registered 18 degrees!!! so i rode in shorts, t shirt & body armour!!! great fun but when doing a sharp heelside edge the snow was flying up my legs!!!!

Saas Fee is a wicked little town. Deceptively quiet, it looks very sleepy and low key - the equivalent french resort would probably have a few lame bars & a cheesefest club for when everything else is closed

but Sass Fee ROCKS!!! HARD!!

below are my favourite bars (photos to come):

Popcorn - free to get into (all the bars in Saas Fee are free), loud sound system, wicked boarder vibe, biggest club in town - I DJd there Sat 30th March - bigup Jonas, Daniella, Nina & Danny



Living Room - upstairs from popcorn, very chilled, loungey vibe - bigup Joe

Metro - weird cosy mining vibe with wrought iron furniture - always live acoustic music - bigup Liz, Morenko & Katya

Happy Bar - across the road from our chalet. I've DJd ther too. Our loyalty is well rewarded with free shakers & pitchers - Bigup Peter! the photo shows all the staff who work in the hotel



Holzwurm - weird german cowboy vibe, only get a mention cos its the cheapest drinks in town - 3 CHF a pint - thats £1.40! everywhere else is 8 CHF a pint

The town itself is very chilled. I'm living in a chalet with 8 people, all of whom work for crystal travel, 4 of whom work in hotel la collina with me. Our chalet is the one on the left of this photo, the Feeblick



its a wicked vibe & theres usually guests of employees crashing on spare beds and sofas. SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!??! COME VISIT ME!!!!

my commute:

the view when it's snowing

the mountain is pretty steep & challenging, there are 2 board parks, the high one being awesome, the low one having smaller jumps, good on snow days when visibility higher up is poor. Also nearby is a resort called Saas Grund, also covered by our lift pass. Grund has a more french vibe, much wider, rolling pistes, very fast. timed myself once & decended 1800 metres in 7 minutes! I'd love to work out my maximum speed!! of course I was listening to infected mushroom when I set the time!!!

i really like it here. its got the alpine charm of a mountain village, the nightlife of a snowboarding hub, and wicked varied riding. the only downside is that off piste is quite dangerous for several reasons; the mountain is very steep so prone to avalanches (most of switzerland is) & there are holes & crevasses everywhere.
