Travel time again - St Anton!!!

Another epic journey, this time to St Anton! Half way there the train driver informs us we need to leave the train and catch a bus due to the risk of avalanches on the tracks!!!

5 1/2 hrs later I'm here!!!

Kitzbuhel Hahnenkamm!!!

Fantastic Day at the Men's downhill!

Didier Cuche stormed through stormy conditions to win his unprecedented fifth downhill on the Hahnenkamm just two days after announcing his retirement from ski racing at the end of the 2012 season. Cuche has now surpassed the great Austrian racer Franz Klammer with the most downhill wins at Kitzbuhel.

Only in Austria!

So, do you get it???

Seems fair enough...........

Basic Error Today........

Ok, Phil and I got up, got ready and drove to Kaprun to ski there.  Hm..... never checked the weather forecast, high winds, lifts closed, no go!  Drive back, catch the lift up to the top of Zell, windy here too, go to the bar at the top!  Stay there for 2 hrs ski back down..........

Must remember to undertake basic checks!!!

Big snow coming in today in Zell! Off to Kaprun for a ski and a relaxing spa!!!

Time to relax a little, fresh snow forecast to fall for a couple of days now!

Another nice day in Zell!





Fresh Tracks still to be had!

Fantastic Day in Zell!
