Phil in Austria

Following a week's skiing, and a day and a half at home to do all the washing, Phil headed off to a business meeting in the ski fields of Austria! As he arrived early, Phil had another day and a half skiing, which he loved. 

The resort was really quiet, and he got discounts on his ski hire and lift passes. One morning he had a whole run to himself for 1/2 an hour, before being joined by another 6 or so skiers until the ski schools came out in force at about 11:00. With fresh snow one day (and rain the next) the skiing was quite variable. The local church, covered in fresh snow. A view from the top of the mountain. Part of the ski run The meeting went well, and Phil celebrated his birthday with work colleagues (Cake and Apple Schnapps) and a big night out. 

He would have stayed for the weekend for more skiing, but Alexander's birthday was on Friday night. Phil's aim was to make it home for dinner to see Alexander on his birthday. He had never been away on one of the boy's birthdays before, and didn't want to start now!

Ooooh Snow. It's been over 30 here for a week or more :) I'm so envious of your cool snow.
