Start of the Skiing Season

Yeah, it was time for skiing! Hurra, this year the snow conditions were great! Nearly every slope was open and less people on it!

Thursday evening I picked up Hannes and Wiesi at the terminus of the U6 and we started our trip to Salzburg!

Around 9 pm we arrived at the new hotel and the skiing and partying weekend could start!


It snowed all the time on our first skiing day but the slope conditions were great. The following days we had the luck of sunshine that completed the perfect weekend. It was possible to ski down all slopes to the village - I've never had this before at the end of November. They also built two new ski-lifts - one gondola up to the panorama restaurant and one new chairlift for 6 people replacing an old chairlift and a T-bar lift.

The leisure programme was also exciting with the new 'party apartement', the lobby bar having a big flat screen for the broadcasting of the ski races and the in-house disco (see the video of two guys having a hangover the next day ;-).

It was hard to leave on sunday evening 'cause I would've preferred to stay longer!
