We repeated the Saalbach/Hinterglemm ski area but we did Hinterglemm instead. We attempted to ski together with the entire group! All 18 of us. It was quite fun. We took our time. (see pic)
There has not been snow fall for a long time but there are a lot of snowmaker machine all over the mountain. (see pic)
We did a few runs from the Spieleckkogel peak of only 1998 meter. Ralph (Carine's brother), improved a great deal in a few runs! We then headed over to the lodge Rosswaldhutte. Had another lunch in the mid mountain with more frankfurter and fries!
After a morning of skiing, we decided to try tobboganning. You rent a tobbogan at the bottome and carry it up in a gondola. There is a special track zig zagging down the mountain. Candice and I giggle the entire way down since didn’t have much control of the sled. (see pic)
Another group lead by Glenn was doing a mountain pub tour through resort. Goal: A beer at every hut….. Then ski home.. J
We all got home safe, sound and happy. Tonight’s menu. Cheese fondue.
Half of us cheese fondue and the other half tried a variety of dishes including beef carpaccio, mixed salad that was so so freshing, garlic soup (no one wanted to kiss me after this). Job and Carine got lover's dessert with heart shaped biscuits!
