kjus

have gone over them and added my thoughts :)

in true action man fashion, the mister wanted to go skiing over christmas. the only problem being the mister not knowing how to ski, yet. content to be the sleeping partner / free rider in this arrangement, i left all the arrangements to him. little did i know that he'd book us into a ski in / ski out resort. great for me, not so great for someone who was only just learning how to ski. little did i know that after a 3h lesson on day one, and a 1.5h lesson on day two, the mister would've surpassed me (who has been skiing for 20 years...) and successfully parallel ski down the hardest intermediate slopes the resort had to offer. ugh! it's kind of ego trampling hanging out with that boy some times. i mean, i know my sporting ability is lacking but do i really need my husband to rub it in my face? really?

husband humblebrag aside, one of the things we try to do when traveling is to stay local. sounds like a paradox but the mister tends to eschew overtly 'touristy' places. the lodge he found was no different. we were the only non-swiss guests, and as it was a tiny bit off the beaten track (30min walk from the village) we enjoyed the peace and quiet being nestled in the mountain afforded. we stayed at kjus, the loft room, and it was incredibly well-appointed. the space was well-utilised and it even had its own fireplace! the comfortable, luxurious furnishing and clean lines made for a very stylish mountain lodge with gorgeous views of the pistes / valley depending on which way your cabin faces. the nespresso coffee maker and sound system was a nice touch, and the underfloor heating a real treat! it was such a cosy room with the most comfortable bed and bedlinens that we had a hard time tearing ourselves away for a day's skiing.
