Friends visiting part1

Before completely switching for  summer mode, it was still time to enjoy spring ski conditions. Put some friends together in a cabin nearby nice mountains, give them good skis and  a bit of snow.  And if the weather is cooperative, you will have a lot of fun. The goal of this trip was not to hit…
