10 Feet Of Snow
By Lothar. Filed in Austria |
The Kitzbuehel mountains have ten feet of snow. It snows for the first three days of our vacation and a lot of lifts are closed due to “sturm”. Finally we ski on Wednesday and Thursday. Two picture perfect days with blue skies and good powder on groomed slopes. We begin our mountain assault on the heated chairlift of the Maierlbahn and continue on Ehrenbachhoehe, Steinbergkogel and Pengelstein.On our second day, we take the 3S Gondola across a very deep valley to Wurzhoehe. The views are breathtaking and we breathe a big sigh of relief, after we are back on terra firma. It is time for suntan lotion and lunch break on Baerenbad Alm (hut). After lunch, we ski as far as Gauxjoch, before we head back to our Hotel Willms in Kirchberg. The sauna and steambath revive us before dinner. Then it snows again! At least, we had 2 days of great skiing here this week. On Friday and Saturday, the lifts close again due to another winter storm!
