Sunday afternoon we went to a little place near Engelberg with the peak of the Titlis towering over us at more than 3000m. We saw a church near the road surrounded by a lovely snow covered hillside, perfect for sledding on. So we pulled into the car park and unloaded the brand new sled (German crafted blue and orange plastic with steering wheel and brake).
It was great fun and we started slowly to get a feel for how fast it went and how the sled handled.
Sunny surprised us all took it down the really steep slope and got air as she literally flew of the top of the hill. She screamed, then a few seconds later the sled reappeared without Sunny. Fortunately she was ok and eventually reappeared to give us the thumbs up. Impressive effort from mummy!
We took the boys down with us a few times dressed in their little eskimo outfits. They really enjoyed it, except one time when Andrew got a big spray of snow in the face. Event then he was ok, just murmured a bit and started licking the snow.
Mingyu and I got brave and went down mummys super steep course together, we were honking down the slope and even a minor adjustment to the steering wheel felt like we would go over.
The snow was really dry and soft so it was no problem to fall over. Just like falling into soft downy feathers.
