Three pictures of me with my class this week, skiing on Honegg. It's been a fabulous week, plenty of snow and a fair amount of sunshine too with more snow expected tomorrow.

Major Snowfall

Just quickly before I go to my Spanish lesson......Today it has snowed a good half meter, with predictions that it will continue over night and well into tomorrow. Some "nay sayers" have even mentioned the winter of 1999! That's when the Oberland Cafe was wiped out by an avalanche and the old Mannlichen station dangerously damaged. There was a silver lining in that cloud, of course, as now the cable car station is in the middle of town.

It certainly was fantastic skiing this afternoon, off piste was on piste! And no one around. My teeth were so cold, because I couldn't stop smiling.

Enjoy!

Amazing Conditions



Well, I'm back in town. You'll be pleased to know that my mum is now out of hospital. So its back to business as usual.

This week hasn't been great, weather wise, for our guests. Lots of snow, no visibility, and a day of storm winds producing our tenth day this season where most, if not all, lifts were closed.

Then today, the clouds parted, the sun ventured out, the pistes were perfectly groomed and the skiing was superb.

We now have the most fantastic snow for the busiest week of the season about to begin.

Enjoy.
