Had another great day yesterday.Up @ 6:30,quick breaky downstairs then off to the train station for an 8:30am departure to Kitzbuhel.We wanted to hike the Hahnenkamm,for those that don,t know,it's the steepest scariest and fastest skiing downhill race in the world.Perry and my favorite race to watch for 20 years now.We were so excited to go there!Such a beautiful lille city.We wanted to hike to uor favorite part of the race which was near the bottom thank god cause it is so steep.After 2 hours of intense up hill we made it.YEEHAA! So scary looking ove the edge it made me dizzy,couldn't imagine flying over the edge on a pair of skis,they are truely insane.It was still to be another 1 & half more hours to the summit getting way more steeper with each step.We made the right call and headed back down the mountain,knees pounding by now.We had a quick beer at the bottom then took the Gondola to the summit,what a freaky ride,don't look down and coming down the mountain was far more scarier.I could never be a skier.LOL Back on the train @ 4:30 and in Innsbruk @ 5:30.Great Day! We conquered the Hahnenkamm! Well thats another wrap enjoy the pics gang. Take care Trena.
