Weekend Skiing in Soll, Austria

I don't want to make this my skiing blog, but being so close to so many resorts in the Alps is too good to pass up. I know, it's a rough life. 11 of us drove to Soll, Austria after work on Friday and rented a couple condos. The ski resort is called SkiWelt, which is made up of a few mountains and 9 small towns at the base. There are 91 lifts, so it is a pretty big place. Saturday was really cold and so foggy you literally couldn't see much more than 25 feet at times, so it made the skiing pretty miserable. From the very top of one of the lifts, you could get above the clouds, which made for a really impressive sight.

We wanted to go sledding Saturday night, but they closed early for some reason. So of course we improvised and made our own sledding and had a great time. On Sunday, the weather was perfect. They got a couple inches of snow Saturday night and we had crystal clear skies all day.

These are the pictures from the top of the mountain above the fog on Saturday.

Here's the crew. From left to right: Me, Justin, Andrea, Kelly, Chris, Kerry, Sarah, Jenny, Andi, and laying in the front are Alissa and Kinsey. Scary...only 2 non-accountants in the whole group. Don't worry, we had all the bills divided in no time!
