Life is not a Practice

The winter must be coming to an end. Yesterday we were cycling and today I was out for an hour skiing in slushy snow. Still better than no skiing at all.

The photo is looking down on Nesselwang which still looks fairly white.

Back to work tomorrow so spent 7 hours on the slopes today. In the morning with family including Chris! In the afternoon with Paul

In the afternnon Daniel was off with his friends and managed a backflip. Sorry but no pictures or video.

Another fantastic day out with Angus. New powder snow and sunshine. We were out on the slope for seven hours. 7 hours of fun!

Daniel was out making the piste unsafe with his friends.

The sort of day that dreams are made of.
30-50 centimeters of powder snow the last few days and blue skies this morning.
Max was off swimming in the Danube http://www.donauschwimmen.de/index.php/fotos/125-fotos-donauschwimmen-2010, Daniel was at church and the ladies were still in bed so I was on my own in fantastic snow.
Actually I was far from alone as there were hundreds of tourists but by judicious use of the lifts I managed to keep away from them and enjoy the powder on the side of the piste.
Great snow, stunning views and fantastic weather!
In the afternoon Daniel and his friends were away enjoying the off piste skiing between the top of the Alpspitz and Pfronten Kappel.

Took Max to the lift to do ski teaching.
Then a few runs on the hard, fast lower slope then up to the top to enjoy the sunshine.

Out skiing all morning in Oberjoch with Max, Daniel and Thomas from next door. My legs let me know after three hours that they needed a rest.
