Spectacular weather awaited us in Randa:<\/strong><\/div>\n

The ski trip to Randa, Switzerland, has long been a staple of the annual schedule at Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School. On February 13,<\/span> ten students set off together with <\/p>\n

Nils Schwandt and Freya Penschuck set out from Marburg for the Gr\u00e4chen ski resort. The weather throughout their three-day stay more than made up for the eight-hour trip there, which took place in the rain and under less-than-ideal conditions. \u201cWe had what you might call perfect weather in Randa,\u201d the participants reported. Indeed,<\/span> the cloudless sky and clear visibility treated the students from the Steinm\u00fchle boarding school to a view of the distant Matterhorn! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Helping One Another<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It quickly became clear that all the passengers had been on a ski vacation before, on their own. You could tell that some were experienced skiers or snowboarders: they turned out to be seasoned and skilled riders. In contrast, others still needed a little extra help or a refresher on their skills. In many cases, everyone quickly helped each other out to navigate the slopes successfully. We also had Freya, a certified snowboard instructor, who had a few helpful tips for everyone. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Working Out During the Day<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We slept<\/span> in old, rustic wooden cabins on the grounds of a former farm in a traditional mountain village at an elevation of about 1,400 meters. We hit the slopes around 9 a.m. The day there was active and full of exercise. Around 4:30 p.m., the group met up to ski down to the valley. So it\u2019s no wonder that everyone was thoroughly tired and exhausted by evening. After cooking and eating together, we chatted a bit or played some games to wind down the day peacefully. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Refreshing all around<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once again this year, none of the participants could escape the ritual that has been a tradition for years: Anyone visiting Randa for the first time must take a quick dip in a water trough. Since it is fed by pure mountain spring water, this turned into a \u201cpleasantly refreshing\u201d splash around. Everyone took the decidedly cool temperatures in stride and saw it as a sign to return to their schoolwork with a clear head once they were back at the Steinm\u00fchle boarding school. <\/div>\n
