Skiing in the Alps: Stubai Glacier, Austria 12/03-12/04




This weekend was so much fun! We went to Stubaier Glacier in Austria to ski on the Alps. The drive was long, seven hours, but so worth it. The Alps were incredibly gorgeous! Their beauty was really impossible to capture with a camera. The snow-capped mountains jutted into the air all around me. The runs were mostly easy and intermediate, so it was a perfect resort for me to ski at. I did pretty well skiing and only fell three times. One of the falls was pretty epic... I lost a ski and my pole smashed in to my arm leaving two big bruises. But otherwise it was smooth sailing on the runs. The resort was pretty large, and the runs were quite long. The conditions were pretty nice, but at the end of the day it was really icy. After all the skiing I finished the day with an ice-cold beer at the bottom of the mountain. It was really nice to get out and do something active, rather than just walking around and checking out the area and different sights.
