80 years old mountain guide Werner guides me from Titlis down the couloir along Längi Wand, our last day skiing of winter season, Memorial Day Weekend 2012. After skiing, Lunch, wine and cigarette, he went to play Tennis ! Now beat his Lifestyle. Great man. It was an honour to spend the day with Werni.
"das isch super abfahrt, teilweise brutal steil"
Letzter Skitag am Pfingstmontag am Titlis entlang der Längi Wand, geführt vom 80jährigen Bergführer Werni zum Mittagessen im Restaurant Ritz auf Gerschnialp. Toller SSki Abschluss.
zuerst gemütliches und stimmungvolles z'Morge am Vierwaldstättersee
video with Werner::
mit Werni, 80 jährig!!! Bergführer und Skilehrer, arbeitete in St.Moritz, im Palace Hotel, raucht und drinkt auf dem Berggipfel einen feinen Tropfen Weisswein. er war drei mal auf dem Dom, das harte ist nicht der Aufstieg, sondern der Abstieg mit 3000 Höhenmeter.
I met an Indonesian Honeymoon couple on Titlis, the groom plays Ice Hockey on Bauer Ice skates! coming from a country with a hot climate. the bride talked about frozen lakes, they were in Milano, didn't like it much, dirty air, she liked the clean swiss mountain air. next stop for them Paris.
My first Summer Fruit Tarte, Peaches from Marocco, best early fruit
peaches ever, smaller size, ripe, deep dark red, flest orange, yellow,
red, yummy, not like the green unripe and tasteless shit coming from
Spain.

Spring Skiing in Switzerland Engelberg, Titlis in shaky motion:
by far best spring skiing in Europe, this at the end of May. you can ski from Titlis to Trübsee, a vertical drop of 1200m, many ski resorts can't offer this in deep winter.
The drawback: busloads of tourists from India.

going up to the top of Titlis, carrying the skis on the shoulders, it's not far, but I had to pit stop twice to grasp more fresh air. I walked uphill 30-45 min. Fog above Stand, Nebelmeer auf etwa 2700m.
Treat in the evening: eine schöne Persönlichkeit
listening to the James Taylor Concert in Zurich. Good performance, nice evening, he is in the words of my compagnion, an American, her words: eine schöne Persönlichkeit.
he said that he doesn't speak "Schwiizerdütsch", Swiss German, that he is sorry he has to speak in English, that he did not write his songs in "Schwiizerdütsch"!!
he was not sure if he ever performed in Switzerland, he did not, hardly any american bands performed in Switzerland in the sixties or seventies. he performed this song, more than 40 years later:
two nights later he performed in Paris @ L'Olympia, the classic music venue in Paris, Edith Piaf sang there.
The Music in the sixties and seventies was originally recorded on analog equipment, in his case, on REVOX, a home brand of Zurich, a Studer company from Regensdorf near Zurich.
The resolution on analogue equipment as REVOX is much higher than what any digital has to offer. I write this, because James Taylor had on stage on the left side his old REVOX tower placed. He said, it was stacked hidden someplace, got forgotten, after a divorce he found it again and showed it off in the concert, I don't know if this REVOX is on stage in his later tour dates in Europe and the USA.
