I ended up having a great day and evening in Lenzerheide, actually in the town of Parpan. We got into Basel a little later than we expected as we were stopped for a while at the Swiss/German border, so after renting the car and getting thru Zurich traffic, we got to Lenzerheide around noon. The skiing was great. It was warm, but still LOTS of snow. Incredible vistas and great coffee with schnapps on the slopes. I skiied with a great guide named Daniel that was a friend of our bus driver, who ended up sleeping most of the afternoon (he had driven us all night from Nurnberg.) Then we had an incredible Fondue dinner with swiss white wine and schnapps at another friends slope-side town house. Not a bad off day at all!!! We stayed the night then drove back to Basel the next morning (actually this morning.) It was a little over 2 hours drive without traffic. It definetly would have closer and quicker to go to Engelberg or Wengen, but it turned out to be a great trip - I hope to return for longer next time. Now we are off to Salzburg tonight, but i don't think I'll be skiing there tomorrow - I'm too sore!!!!
