Winter is a hike in the mountains on a day when the snow is fading. You take the path marked for snowshoes, but leave them on your backpack because there is no need. Instead you need sunscreen because the sun is indeed shining. It is warm and reminds you that spring is close and when it arrives winter has been, but is no more.
Discussing the weather? Enjoying the view? 
The peaks across the valley look quite magnificent. 
The balloons probably took off at Chateau-d’Oex
