Mountains again, and Ili on skis for the first time — Elm, Glarus Valley!!

Day out on the slopes today. Weather beautiful. Views great. Few people around and Ili had her first time on skis — only for about half an hour, but enough to start. We sledged for the rest of the time, or took the chair lifts up and down to follow Bea and Papa best we could. Bea also had a lesson with an instructor to boost his confidence and improve his technique, which was a great success. Really cool day in the mountains!!

Going up to Schabell at Elm.
Bea up at Schabell, Elm, at the beginning of the run.
They are tiny dots, but it's Bea and Papa coming down (in the middle).

Top of the chairlift station.
Ili and I took the easy way back down.

Getting her balance. . . .

She actually preferred the skis off her feet!!

Going up again!!


Nice views of the Glarus valley (UNESCO site).
