swiss 'volunteer' fir tree for bonsai

Hello!

This fir tree started in between a couple of rhododendrons under our mature beech tree several years ago, and I recently decided to try making it into a proper bonsai. It has now survived a first vacation away, with some care from a neighbor, but I am worried about it being able to survive the winter ahead. It is gorgeous, but likely will be pruned more (especially the downward growing bits) - if it survives...
I am not actually sure how active this site is, but will also send a note to the contact us page for your recommendations in this regard.

To be optimistic, I thought I would go ahead and send this to you already...
:)

Thanks for all the info in your site and your interest in efforts of others like me!

best,
Rachel
