Good morning. Our last up the mountains this week.

I wonder if it's worth going on a winter break into the mountains if you're not into ski-ing/winter sports but just like to walk for example.

javahippie09:02:30

We often go for hikes on the mountains here in the Black Forest, there are a lot of well maintained winter-hiking routes

Nice! I was in the Black Forest in 2016, we also visited Freiburg

Is there any snow right now?

javahippie10:02:43

Not in the city itself, but on the hills there is plenty. We have rented a flat ~30 minutes up the mountains from here for a week-long workation so we can hike and cross-ski before and after work

Geoffrey Gaillard11:02:21

We always go as family. Some of us ski, some don't. Ski lifts are open to pedestrians, either two-way, or walk your way back on a snowshoe trail. It's less expansive for pedestrians. It's handy to just walk downhill, save time, or gather for lunch.

kardan14:02:53

I thought the only legal reason to go ski-less in the lift was to go to the top bar 🤪

genRaiy19:02:00

@U04V15CAJ why not ski though? I didn't learn until my forties.

borkdude19:02:31

I don't feel like learning it and breaking my legs :)

genRaiy19:02:16

I think if you learn properly and progress sensibly the chances of injury are low

genRaiy19:02:45

I've fallen plenty but never hurt myself 🤞:skin-tone-3:

borkdude19:02:17

I just don't see why I would do this, just like ice skating. I've done it as a child, but I don't feel the inclination.

genRaiy19:02:25

It's folks who try black runs on day 3 of learning that suffer

genRaiy19:02:51

Anyway yes, of course, no pressure

genRaiy19:02:58

Was just interested

borkdude19:02:01

But I enjoy your photos!

borkdude19:02:11

And I wonder if I would enjoy being there if I weren't skiing.

genRaiy19:02:32

My wife doesn't come along

borkdude19:02:15

are you there with your sons?

genRaiy19:02:20

You can ski walk which is very safe

genRaiy19:02:37

Yes, me and the two boys

genRaiy19:02:57

They are slightly better than me but we stay together and it's a joy to me

genRaiy19:02:22

We're going again next month in France so I'll send more pictures.

genRaiy19:02:58

One of our friends just moved there so it's very unusual for us to go twice

genRaiy19:02:10

But excellent

genRaiy19:02:26

I've missed holidays :)

emak14:02:31

+ 1 for snowshoes if you are not into skiing. Cross-country ski stations often have decent amount of showshoe trails. Usually these places are less crowded than alpine skiing ones.

borkdude10:02:01

Saalbach, Austria

genRaiy11:02:49

What he said

genRaiy11:02:41

AT is the official shortening of Austria so the answer was in the question

Morning btw.

gklijs11:02:16

Morning, further defecting from Clojure, as I decided to go with Rust for a static site generator.

Jakub Holý (HolyJak)12:02:59

Using one or writing one?

gklijs13:02:41

More like writing one. Reusing some html things I used with Clojure before, based on Bulma. For now still using the js the cljs put out. Taking small steps to make it all dynamic.
