After the experience at Diablerets some asked me if I would ever ski again. The next week I was fortunate enough to spend a week with the Lanci family skiing at Crans-Montana.
On the drive to the resort from Geneve we passed through Thonon, Evian, and Sion. Driving alongside miles and miles of hillside vineyards.
The next day I went skiing with Camille's mother, sister, and friends. We had perfect sunny skies and great snow for the first day of skiing. We ate lunch on the mountain at about 2400m or 7800ft with an incredible view of the Valais alps seen below.
One of the best pistes at Crans-Montana is accessed by cable car and is named La Plaine Morte.

On Day 2 Sandro brought us to his favorite place to eat
Raclette for a morning snack. Raclette is a delicious traditional swiss dish of scraped melted cheese, served with potatoes, pickled onions, and sometimes a platter of charcuterie.

With such great conditions we skied the all day Friday and Saturday. Afterwards we came back to the apartment to have dinner before going out to walk around and explore the village at night. One night we went to the lovely
Cinécrans to view The Imitation Game.

This week spent at Crans-Montana with the Lanci family was a wonderful way to spend my last week before classes started. I hope to one day ski here again.
