Austria - Spring Skiing in Sportgastein in April 2014

Sunny day Skiing on the 14th April
The air was crisp and fresh and the snow to the middle station was perfect. On a day like today it is difficult to beat Sportgastein. No queues for the Gondola and friendly people on our shared rides to the top. It's not always like that, there can be dumb, glum snow-boarders or free-stylers intent only on on their next run.
It can be icy first thing in the morning but not today, just soft powder.
TW enjoyed the Blue Run and a great lunch at the Valerie Haus. It was standing room only for the ride home on the bus but we had the front seats. TW is an ace at bus-boarding these days!
