View from the top


We took a cablecar to the top of the Untersberg (1800m) today. Well, it was a pretty amazing view! This picture is down towards our town, Hallein (in the centre of the shot). Extremely green for middle of winter and it doesn't look like that will change any time soon. A real shame as there is a ski piste from the top which goes all the way back down to the valley: 1500m of vertical. Nice if there was enough snow!

Wobbly phone



More visitors, more skiing, awesome!

Dirty ol' Essex popped over first for a few days of carving before Al turned up for a long weekend.

Obviously it was all quite gnarly, phat, and that new word that has entered youth-related parlance "wobbly phone" (origins of which derive from an Irish interpretation of the phrase and hand symbol, "Hang Loose")

Found some nice pockets of powder too and a fairly sweet little rock to jump off.

Good times, despite the early morning starts...
