Yes, imagine that...I went skiing again. 6 of us left early Friday morning to St. Anton's in Austria for a 3-day ski weekend. The snow was absolutely incredible and the resort was really nice too. It snowed all day Friday and half the day Saturday and then got clear on Sunday. All day Friday and Saturday we were in waist-deep powder and sometimes it would seriously come up to your shoulders! When you fell, you literally buried yourself and had to dig out of it unless you did a somersault-like flip or roll to avoid going so deep (which of course takes skill, and no luck right?). We skiied "off-piste" (off of the trails) the whole time and were the first ones to make tracks a lot of the time. Some of the areas were really steep too, so it felt like your shoulders were touching the side of the mountain at times. I should probably not go skiing anymore because I can't imagine a better time! (But of course I already signed up for the bus for next weekend's trip on Saturday.)
Juan and Justin are covered, but that is mostly just from kicking up so much powder (and maybe a little dusting when they did fall)! Juan is Alissa's friend from the US who flew in for the weekend. He was on a ski team in Ruidoso, NM, so was really good. He and Justin are hard to keep up with!
This is one of Alissa that shows how deep it was.
STRRRRRAIGHT down!
