MBA Ski in Davos

On the 18th December 35 MBA’s, MFE’s and their Families and Friends headed towards Davos in Switzerland. One meter of fresh powdery snow, beautiful weather and a great four star hotel was waiting for them. Since the trip was just before the season the slopes belonged to us. No queuing (the British guys loved it), no waiting for beer or the “Schümli-Pflümli” which is the local name for a coffee with schnapps (its also called curveoil).

After the first couple of days everyone had to fight with their aches and pains, but after the first swings on the fantastic slopes the next morning the soreness all of a sudden disappeared. A rich breakfast delighted us every morning with everything which is needed to sustain a day on the trails. In the evening we got from Swiss Raclette to Swiss Fondue everything what we needed to excuse a fine glass of wine. After the diner we were sledding down the mountain in the dark, went for a Swiss beer in one of the numerous pubs or went straight back to the hotel were one could fall deadly into the bed.

We all had a great week in which we could forget the stress that we’ve had the weeks before and where we could get to know each other better. This week showed that the teamwork among all those different nationalities can work very well and gave us the possibility to gain friends for our lives…
