New skis for the girl ☺

Super speedy skis for my speedy girl. And they are beautiful, arn't they?

Skiing 2010/2011 - day 6 - Going/Kitzbuehel

One last excellent and sunny skiing forenoon. We've been on the mountain till 1 pm and then we went to our hotel to prepare for having a night (and an afternoon) out. We dressed up to the nines to stroll around the cute and glamorous town of Kitzbuehel. Visiting different taverns (as well as a 'midnight sausage') we concluded our cool vacation in cozy atmosphere.

Skiing 2010/2011 - day 5 - Hahnenkamm/Jochberg

A day a motto: Rushing through the skiing area! We went to Kitzbuehel to ski the Hahnenkamm side. Different to other skiing areas in Austria parking in Kitzbuehel is not for free! We also had a problem to get skis for Sabine. The Russians took them all. Nevertheless we solved the problem and the sun was our companion on the mountain. We wanted to try the new 3S gondola that connects the Kitzbuehel skiing area with the Jochberg skiing area. We enjoyed skiing there but we had a problem on our way back. They have kind of a bottleneck where one T-bar tow has to serve all skiers who want back. At least we had to wait for nearly three-quarters of an hour. We had to hurry now. Luckily we catched every ski-lift at the eleventh hour. Back on top of Kitzbuehel we didn't ski down the Streif trail. It was getting dark to quick. Whew! We needn't take a ski bus service back to our car.

night toboggan run

As our hotel is located next to the chairlift that gave us the opportunity of doing a night toboggan run. We had to wrap up warm (or we'll catch a cold). First we had dinner at the Brenneralm and than – hurray – we rushed down the hill. What a fun! :-)

Skiing 2010/2011 - day 4 - Scheffau

The sun is back! We started again at the Hartkaiserbahn and skied to Scheffau. Great day in the great outdoors!

Skiing 2010/2011 - day 3 - Ellmau

The second day of the new year was an après ski day! In the morning we went to Ellmau and we took the Hartkaiserbahn up the mountain. The weather conditions weren't good and therefore after one hour we rested for a soup. No sunshine after the soup :-( We headed forward to the Ruebezahl-Alm and tried their fine mulled wine. After a longer stay we went down the mountain and enjoyed the après ski igloo at the valley station.

Skiing 2010/2011 - day 2 - Going

Happy New Year!

We didn't catch the morning. We went up the mountain around midday. As the local chairlift crosses our hotel it was easy to put the skis on (even after new years evening). We had an excellent lunch at the Brenneralm.

Another wonderful sunny skiing day!
