| Engelberg provided a wonderful location
for a meeting. In the heart of the
very pretty town, the hotel itself was in easy walking
distance of shops and restaurants and the ski slopes. The meeting ended at midday and there was a rush to get out onto the slopes immediately after lunch. A pretty varied group including Pete Smith, Walter Stahlecker, Roy McKean, James de Raeve, Richard Straub and various others were spread across the mountain.

There had been a large
amount of snow over the previous few days, but the
grooming machines had been at work, so there was plenty
of varied skiing. The sun was shining and visibility was excellent. |
| The day was not without its excitement. Walter Stahlecker lead a group of us down an ungroomed slope that had been kicked up into soft bumps. Roy McKean and I found this somewhat challenging and spent a lot of time in the snow with skis in the air! Dan Chamby of Fujitsu badly sprained an ankle. We stopped for a beer on the way down to the village at the end of the day. I fell hard and tore a stomach muscle very near to the bottom -- it gave me problems for about 3 months! |
