Okay, I know I said I was going to go and tackle the laundry mountain but I can't resist uploading just this one ski photo before I go and face those socks.
When we said we were going skiing in Austria this late into the Spring (almost the last week of the season), there was a certain amount of pooh-poohing among our friends who also like to ski (all good-natured, I should add!). The phrase 'hope you packed your walking boots' was bandied about a fair bit. But look at all this lovely snow! There was a huge snow shower in the middle of the week, lots of sunshine, blue skies and almost empty slopes. I spent the whole week feeling outrageously lucky; to be there in the middle of some of the most spectacular mountains in the world, whooshing down slopes with my husband and boys at my side. Well, I say, 'at my side'...in truth, that should read 'disappearing into the distance' because I am now officially the slowest skier of the family. The shame of it. I've been overtaken by a 12 year old!
But I didn't need my walking boots once!
Ah fantastic :D and yes, empathise on the "being overtaken by the youngsters" thing, it's really quite unnerving how little fear little sorts have on the slopes!
Sounds like a great trip. Skiing in the Cascades this year expected until June, that's how cold it is this year. Big snow pack and still some new stuff coming down.
