Today started out as every other day during our trip to Saas Fee, woke up and had breakfast at the hotel before heading out to the slopes for snowboarding school. I (Tami) actually went back to class and stayed all day. I was very proud of myself for going back after my melt down.
Our instructor, Toast, took videos of us so we could see how our turns looked, we all got to watch each others, which was fun. I finally was able to make it up the ski lift, only fell off once the entire time, even though I still was not going to the top, and only about 1/3 of the way up. Greg on the other hand, was going up to the top and coming all the way down, he was doing great. At the end of class Toast gave each of us a snowboarding class book and marked our progress, Greg got an Excellent!!!, Tami got a Needs Work (duh!).

After class we returned our snowboarding equipment and went to lunch at Zur Muhle (Moulin - a recommendation from Toast) and enjoyed clear broth soup, fondue, and the best Coke we have ever had. We knew we had an early bus to leave in the morning so we stopped in at a bakery (Beck) and picked up some pastries for breakfast. We then rode the sky bucket up Hannig again from some hot chocolate/beer, a banana crepe, and to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hannig mountain.

We had to return our ski lift tickets, so Greg did that while I began to pack, we had some free time before dinner and didn't want to stress about it later in the evening.
When Greg got back it was time for the hot tub, we sure will miss this. Then we got ready and headed to dinner early, we had plans for that evening. Once dinner was over we headed out for our Husky sled ride. We had 4 huskies pulling us: Shay, Duke (the only Alaskan husky), Arco, and Tina. All the dogs were so cute and we had a great time. The ride was short, since Saas Fee is so small, but it was still worth it. Greg even got to drive a little bit, though the dogs weren't nearly as responsive to him as they are to the regular guide.

Once done with the husky ride, we made our final trek back to the hotel. When we got to our room we enjoyed a bottle of wine before going to bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
