140309 Tannheimertal
neill, 18:40h
After the amazing skiing this morning we all decided to continue to make use of the weather. Alison went nordic walking, Max went mountain biking and grilling at the lake and Jon and I cycled the 50 km in to Austria and back.
We stopped off for a coffee and parked our bikes on the "ski rack". Others were turning up on their Langlauf skis.
We cycled past the foot of the mountain we were skiing on this morning. It really is a great life.

140309 Neunerköpfle
neill, 14:03h
A mornings skiing like in a picture book. Alison, Max and I were skiing in Tannheimertal. Perfect snow, stunning weather and empty slopes. The first runs were down completely empty pistes and we could use our carving skis to their extremes.
Amazing!

140308 Grüntensee (anticlockwise)
neill, 16:38h
Off spinning this evening so didn't want to do anything too strenuous but the sun is shining and it is 13°C in the shade so I had to go for a bike ride.
Rode round the Grüntensee but anticlockwise for a change. Also tried to avoid hills. The result was 21km with only 230 meters of climbing.

140302 ABC
neill, 13:53h
An hours swimming at the Alpspitz-Bade-center with max.
I managed a kilometer in the time he took for 1.6. I think I need a few years training to be as fast as him.

140301 Obere Alp
neill, 15:09h
Saturday morning ski tour. Had to fill up the hours and KCal burnt for my training program and there are worse ways to do it than walking up a mountain, drinking a beer at the top and then skiing down.
Saw Daniel at the top busy teaching kids to ski.
Route is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=twrnqhkbmzvqqitv
In the afternoon I and Max went to the Trendsport center to try some shooting.
I look more like I am training to be a terrorist.

140223 Oberjoch
neill, 13:32h
Max and I were skiing this morning in Oberjoch. Got there before the people so could have a few "crazy" runs on the lovely mix of natural and man made snow. Frighteningly fast trying to keep up with Max.
And then there was the crazy off piste routes that I was "forced" to take.

140215 Night Skiing
neill, 21:07h
This afternoon out with the race bike and just now we were skiing on the floodlit Alpspitz. Just Alison and I.
We got there at six and the slope was perfectly pisted and empty. An hour later there were more people there so we had a drink sat outside looking at the full moon rising.

140209 Alpspitz
neill, 16:29h
Swimming this morning (my Polar works underwater as well) and out skiing for an hour with Alison and Max on the Alpspitz this afternoon. Snow and sunshine within the one hour.
It really is a tough life when you can cycle, swim and ski all on the same weekend and all within 1 km of home.

140203 Spinning with Polar FT60
neill, 22:22h
Apparently to train effectively you need to train at the correct heartbeat. I have known this for ages but never got round to buying a heart rate monitor.
But now I have treated myself to a Polar FT60 so can be sure I stay at the correct level and can keep a record of how fit I get at https://polarpersonaltrainer.com/

We had some more snow during the week and it was cold enough for the snow cannons one night so today Alison and I went for an hours skiing in Nesselwang.
Great snow but very misty at the top of the mountain.

Once again we, Alison, Heidi and I, are spinning through the winter. This year we are at a different studio ( http://www.fitness-seeg.de/ ) but it is just as much fun as last year.
This evening was my second session and the music this evening was fantastic and included ACDC which resulted in me ending up completely sweated through but feeling like I had really achieved something.
9.1.14
13.1.14
15.1.14 (2 hours)
22.1.14 (2 hours)
26.1.14
and then all saved at polarpersonaltrainer.com

The 12th of January you would expect news from the slopes but the snow is still letting us wait so today I used my ski ticket to go swimming in the morning and cycling in the afternoon.
As you can see in the photo, there is little snow outside of the north facing slopes.
