The season 2010/2011 is underway. Berwyn gave me a lift to Wagrain, about 45 mins from Bad Hofgastein . With five lifts open on a cold but bright sunny day we had a great time. The snow was a mix of natural and artificial, the skiing a mix between the awkward and the rusty. Hadn’t expected to ski until Saturday when our local slopes open and haven’t had my ski bindings adjusted for the new boots yet.

Apple Strudel for afternoon tea. |
So the old boots, held together with duck tape, got a final airing.
It was really quiet, just a couple of school classes in the morning and almost empty in the afternoon. Found a few 'death cookies' on one stretch but the slopes were beautifully groomed, not a bare patch in sight. A very nice hut was open at the top, the staff are particularly friendly at the start of the season, the smiles will get a bit forced by the end of April when the season ends. Massive Strudel portions!
Paradise Regained!
