Casual Headbands Summer Series: SKI TRIP TO SWITZERLAND

TGIF and welcome to another Casual Headbands Summer Series Friday! Today, we travel to the wondrous Alps of Switzerland, where a group of fearless Hoyas braved the elevation and freezing temperatures to go skiing! Word is that these pics were taken at the very same time as the Hoyas were losing to N.C. State in the NCAA Tournament, so other than offering a view as to what the Alps looked like on March 18, 2012, it also begs the question as to why the hell would anyone go to Switzerland during the Dance! In hindsight I guess, it was the right move.

Did you know?:

The north side of the Swiss Alps is drained by the Rhone, Rhine and Inn river (which is part of the Danube basin) while the south side is mainly drained by the Ticino river (Po basin). The rivers on the north empty into the Mediterranean, North and Black Sea, on the south the Po empty in the Adriatic Sea. The major triple watersheds in the Alps are located within the country, they are: Piz Lunghin, Witenwasserenstock and Monte Forcola. Between the Witenwasserenstock and Piz Lunghin runs the European Watershed separating the basin of the Atlantic (North Sea) and the Mediterranean Sea (Adriatic and Black Sea). The European watershed lies in fact only partially on the main chain. Switzerland possesses 6% of Europe's fresh water, and is sometimes referred to as the "water tower of Europe".

Didn't think so!
