Atzmannig

Last weekend Torrey's coworker from Kirkland (who has been living in Zurich with his family since December) invited us to Atzmannig.  Atzmannig has a toboggan run, chair lift, carpet slides, and various other play activities. The great thing about this place is adults get to play too. One reason they invited us this particular day is they were having a Steinstossen event whcih they knew Torrey would love to try. Steinstossen is a traditional Swiss stone throwing competition.  Stones used are usually are not much over 50 kg, but ours were lighter.  It was a fun day!

Two of our friends three kids got to try too. The youngest was quite disappointed he was too young.

Ladies get a slightly lighter stone. Judging from the photos I had a bit too much height on my throw. 

On my way up the chair lifts so that....
I can ride the toboggan down.
