I'm in Switzerland at Hoch-Ybrig,
which is one of the ski areas here.
It's December 31st the last day of the year,
I'm gonna go snowboarding, get some exercise,
and take you all with me!
It's been about two years, or maybe even three years...
two years... I don't know, time flies,
since I've been out on the slopes, so I'm gonna take it easy today
but I'm excited to get some fresh air.
Yay so far I seem to be doing okay...
It's very sunny out, some of the snow is melting,
like right here...
But the actual...
How do you say "Pisten" in English?
"Slope!"
Slope?
"Yeah!"
The actual slopes seem to still be snowy.
"Here comes the snow bunny!"
It smells like cow poop.
Just got on the lift here.
I'm on this all alone, I have the whole thing to myself, which is nice.
I just got to this peak here,
the lift took me right there,
it's called Laucherenstöckli,
it's at 1752 meters above sea level,
and now I'm gonna board down!
Let's see how it goes!
There's my snowboard.
On the lift again...
um... but it's about noon, uh-oh it just stopped...
It's like noon and I'm starting to get a little hungry
so I think I might stop for some lunch soon.
I didn't see-I don't think there's a
restaurant area up there so...
Oh there it is!
So when I come down... wait where is it...
I can't see because the sun is blinding me!
I think it's that... right there.
Yes, that's it!
So hopefully it won't be too full by the time I get there
and I'll have some lunch!
So I made it a little bit higher, I made it to Spirstock
which is at 1771 meters above sea level.
The view up here is pretty awesome!
And now I'm gonna go back down to eat some lunch
because now it's after 1:00 p.m. and I'm starving.
So hopefully they'll still have some food for me at that little hut we saw before.
Almost there.
So I just stopped for lunch.
I'm having my absolute favorite lunch when I go skiing which is
Älpler Makkaroni
which is, it's just macaroni with cheese and onion, potatoes and applesauce.
It's delicious.
And then of course my favorite drink
Apfelschorle.
All right I have successfully replenished my energy,
I'm gonna go up a couple more times and then it's time to head back for
a New Year's Eve of board games and fondue.
I'm back on the lift all alone...
meditating...
It's only 2:00 p.m. but it seems to be a little emptier already
and it's probably because people are getting ready for New Year's tonight...
so I'm going to enjoy my last couple of runs with less people.
ooOOOOooooo.
It's my favorite part.
And this is the end.
I had a great day snowboarding.
It was sunny and warm.
Now it's time to
take all this stuff off.
By the time you see this video it'll be 2022
so I hope everyone had a great start into 2022
and hopefully I'll do something else fun soon!
These new boots...
Oh... oh!
Well I might as well show you my gear.
I have these awesome Solomon boots, which I love.
It's all like automatic tightening.
And my Scott snowboard,
which is probably almost 20 years old now.
But I love it and I have these flow bindings which are really easy to
open and close when you're on the mountain.
And that's it! I hope you enjoyed this video!
